Subject: Official Information request - What is the current status of the rates arrears across Wellington city

[You don't often get email from [FOI #32803 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Wellington City Council,

I heard that something like 10% of rate payers are currently in arrears across the city.

Can you please provide me information on the rates arrears.

I would like to know for each of the periods below:

1 The total number of rate payers
2 The number of ratepayers in arrears
3 The dollar value of the arrears
4 The dollar weighted average months in arrears

Can this be provided at the following dates:

30 June 2025
30 June 2024
30 June 2023
31 July 2025
31 August 2025
30 September 2025
31 October 2025

I note I intend to ask for this monthly going forward.

Yours faithfully,

Matthew Underwood
