Poll: How do you feel about the revaluation and its impact on your house?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A revaluation shaved $215,000 off the capital value of the Smiths’ home and has them worried it could drag down the price they eventually sell for.

Homes around the city were recently revalued for rating purposes and Hamilton City Council announced an average drop of 12% between September 2021 and September 2024, following house price drops over the same period.

The city's new mayor is setting out his plan

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City Council is pledging to cut costs and avoid “gold plating” infrastructure as part of a new strategy to limit rates increases, but Mayor Tim Macindoe says central government support may be needed to meet a new national rates cap.

Macindoe said Wellington needed to be “a little more nuanced” and take population growth into account.
