NZ council rates due dates — all 78 councils
Every council's next rates instalment and late-payment penalty, region by region — straight from that council's own page.
Checked: 1 Aug 2026 · by the Deets team · 78 of 78 NZ councils researched · 73/78 have a due-date schedule, 71/78 have a stated penalty
Everything below is here on the page — this just narrows what's shown. Works without it too.
Amber means the due date is inside the next 45 days as at when this page was last built (1 Aug 2026) — check the date itself if you're reading this later, not just the colour. Dashed rows are councils where either the due date or the penalty isn't published on the council's own site (or we couldn't reach it) — shown plainly, never guessed.
