What is a rateable value in NZ? RVs explained
If you own a property (or you’re buying) it’s good to know a thing or two about RVs
AI summary
A property's Rateable Value (RV), also known as CV or GV, is set by local councils every three years to calculate rates. It's based on an algorithm using recent sales, land value, and improvements, without a physical inspection.
An RV is not an accurate reflection of market value because it quickly becomes outdated and misses factors like a home's condition. For a truer indication of worth, get a professional valuation or a real estate agent's appraisal.

Why RVs don’t necessarily reflect the value of property
