Otago Regional Council rates are funds collected from property owners to support essential services and infrastructure in Otago.
Check your current Otago Regional Council (ORC) property rates, see where they're used, request a rates notice, or update your details. Find answers to all your questions about ORC rates and access the forms you need to manage them. If you have a payment issue, didn't receive a rates notice, or need to update your email address, we've got you covered; low-income residents may be eligible for a rebate on their ORC rates.
We collect rates directly from owners of property in Otago.
