Welcome to Hawke's Bay Regional Council's website page on rates. All property owners in Hawke's Bay are charged rates to pay for the services the Hawke's Bay Regional Council provides to benefit the whole regional community. Targeted rates are also charged to ratepayers who benefit from specific activities in a certain area, such as flood protection on the plains.
In this section you will find information on the latest news, how your rates are calculated, policies about rates remission and postponement and payment options, including when accounts are sent and due dates.
