Serviced apartments declaration form

• complete this form by 3 July 2024 so we can correctly assess your property rates
• complete this form separately for every serviced apartment you own in Auckland.

Our rating policy states serviced apartments are liable for business rates.

However, if your serviced apartment is used exclusively or almost exclusively for residential purposes, you need to provide documents to us before 3 July 2024 showing proof of a long-term stay (at least 90 days) by yourself or a tenant.

If you complete this form after 3 July 2024, or have not provided adequate proof of a long-term stay, we will apply business rates to your apartment.

Proof of apartment use

• current utility bill (internet/electricity/water)
• letter from a government agency
• bank letter
• document showing proof of permanent residence.

We will not accept body corporate levies as proof of a long-term stay.

• tenancy agreement (covering at least 90 days, including the date 30 June 2024)
• latest bank statement showing proof of incoming rent payments (covering at least 90 days).

Your privacy

We will use the information you provide in this form for the purpose of your intended interaction with us, and we may use it for training purposes. See our privacy policy, for more information.
