The current (2026/27) fee table frames this as a two-tier fee rather than a stated percentage, e.g. Full fee $142.00 if paid by 1 August, $206.00 if paid after 1 August (a jump of roughly 45%, not itself labelled a percentage by NCC).”, Napier City Council's own wording.
A late penalty applies from 1 August 2026.
