Rates rebates

Rates rebates

If you own your home and are on a low income, you may be eligible for a rates rebate to reduce the amount of rates you pay. The deadline for rates rebates for the current year is June 30, 2027.

You can't apply for a rates rebate through Environment Southland. Check your eligibility and apply through the city or district council you pay your property rates to:

• Southland District Council – rates rebates
• Invercargill City Council – rates rebates
