BID rates and budgeting

To fund a BID programme, Auckland Council collects a targeted rate from all commercially rated properties located within an approved BID area.

To know the geographic boundary of each BID, see rating maps.

Targeted rate payments to existing BIDs

We return the agreed BID targeted rate amount to the business association as a grant. The grant comes in quarterly payments: June, September, December and March. This provides a sustainable income to fund activities that support local economic development.

There is no GST on these grants as no service is provided between the business association and Auckland Council.

Property information
