Paying Rates
Payments in Person
Payments can be made at our offices in Marton and Taihape, at Te Matapihi and Hunterville Village Bookshop.
Direct Debits
If you currently have a Direct Debit with us you will be notified of the new annual rates along with the updated payment amount. If you do not currently have a Direct Debit in place and would like one, please make contact with our Customer Experience Staff. By having a Direct Debit in place you do not incur any penalties regardless whether there is an amount owing at the due date. You will still receive an invoice if the account is showing a debit figure, however this is ‘For your information only’.
Automatic Payments
If you currently have an Automatic Payment/Internet Banking set up for your rates, please ensure you are making the correct payment to keep your rates up to date.
You need to review your payment at the commencement of the rating year and update it accordingly. This avoids your account falling behind due to the payment being insufficient. We recommend that you phone our Customer Experience Staff who will assist you with the calculation. As with the Direct Debits by loading an automatic payment you do not incur any penalties regardless whether there is an amount owing at the due date. You will still receive an invoice if the account is showing an amount due figure, however this is ‘For your information only’.
Please note: If you load an automatic payment either through your bank or Internet, we would appreciate it if you could notify us so the ‘Withhold Penalty’ fields can be loaded against your account.
Payments for Rates and Water via Internet
When a payment is being made for either rates or water via internet banking, please ensure the correct account reference is used.
