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
In New Zealand, a Rateable Value (RV)—also known as CV or GV—is set by local councils every three years to calculate property rates. It's based on an algorithm considering land value, improvements, and recent sales data.
However, an RV is not an accurate market valuation. Councils don't physically inspect properties, so factors like condition and renovations are missed. For a true indication of worth, get a market value assessment through a professional valuation or a real estate agent's appraisal.

Why RVs don’t necessarily reflect the value of property
