Just been slapped with a land rates bill for approx 900,000 inclusive 740,000 interest. I am aware that the house which was formerly owned by my dad had arrears but this bill is just ridiculous.

Am expecting some chums in about a month but they have given me only 14 days to pay up. Is there any recourse, or can someone direct me on how to proceed? Thanks.

@Sizzla,
From the heading I thought it is something to be tabled in parliament!NCC waives interest(I think once a year)to encourage rate payers to pay up,though I don't know when this happens
If you wait for the waiver,you will have saved 740k.As for the principal ,you may nEed to see the minister for local government ?

Thanks for the quick responses. I know for a fact that my pops took a couple of short cuts, leaving me with some hefty water and elec bills that i eventually sorted.

Was actually planning to follow up on the land rates but i have been short on time. I think the waiver might be the way to go, so if anyone knows the details/requirement kindly assist ASAP.

@Zizzla,
What about gava land rent?Is that up to date coz it can be another headache?...
