rate-in-the-dollar data for non-rateable reclassifications
To [Far North District Council request email]

I am making a request under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act 1987. This is a new request and should be treated as such for the purposes of
section 13.
For each financial year from 2021/22 to 2025/26 inclusive, please provide:
1. Either:
(a) the total land value (or, if the Council uses capital value as the basis for setting
general rates, the total capital value) of rating units classified as Māori freehold land
that were reclassified as non-rateable on or after 1 July 2021 and that remained non-
rateable as at the end of that financial year; or
(b) if (a) is not readily extractable, the equivalent figure for all rating units that became
non-rateable on or after 1 July 2021 by reason of the Local Government (Rating of
Whenua Māori) Amendment Act 2021.
2. The general rate-in-the-dollar (or equivalent multiplier) applicable to those rating
units for that financial year, had they remained rateable.
3. The rate-in-the-dollar (or fixed charge, as applicable) for each targeted rate that would
have applied to those rating units for that financial year, had they remained rateable.
The information sought consists of a small set of figures per year. The valuations are
held in the Council's rating information database, and the rates set for each category
are recorded in the Council's annual rates resolution and funding impact statement.
If, for any year, the figures for one item are readily available but not for others, I would
welcome partial release of what is available rather than refusal of the request as a
whole.
I am content to receive the data in any reasonable format, including a table in the body
of an email or a CSV/Excel attachment.
If any part of this request is likely to be refused, transferred, or to incur a charge, please
contact me in advance under section 13 of LGOIMA so the scope can be discussed
before a decision is made.
