Property drop-down

In many instances within Napier City, more than one property record sits on one piece of land, especially where there are properties with unit titles (e.g. apartments). Just because one property information pops up, doesn't mean you cannot view the other properties associated with the piece of land.

To do so search the address or identify the piece of land you are interested in (using the info tool). Above where the property info is displayed are two drop down menus. The bottom one indicates the number of selected records and you are able to drop down the menu and select the property you are interested in. The numbers in brackets indicate how many records, and which record you are looking at.

Property Details Explained

Ever wondered what all the property info details mean? Well I am here to help, here's a quick overview of the details in the Property Info tab when you have selected a property.

Every property you search will have some Property Info associated with it, most of it is straightforward, but some may mean nothing to you.

The first on the list is UPI - this is a unique number, associated with every record. If you have a data problem or a query about a property, you can use this number as a reference.

Property Key is another unique number associated with the storage of data within the database the information is stored in.

Status - Properties will have one of three status, 'M', 'L', 'H'.
'M' is a main record, a current property, 'L' is a link record, a property that is in shared title or ownership, 'H' is a historic record, which is not current.

Property address is the official property address for that property as set by Council (and how it should appear in the real world).

Valuation address is the address the valuation number is associated with (this may not match the property address).

Valuation is the valuation number associated with the property.
You may come across some unusual valuation numbers, a valuation number of X111111113, is a property undergoing subdivision or development, that is yet to be assigned a valuation number.
An X111111112, is a record that is a reserve or road reserve.
An X111111111, is a historical record with no known valuation number associated with it.

Legal is the legal description associated with the property.

CT is the certificate of title for the property.

Area is the as per the certificate of title, it is in hectares.

Property Name, will only appear if this is available. This contains names of commercial properties operating from the location.

Rate is the annual rate charge for the property in $.

Improved, Capital and Land Value are the rateable values associated with the property ($).

More Info - clicking on this allows a new window to be opened up with a more detailed view of the rates charged for the property.

Street View takes you to the nearest Google Street View Image, allowing you to view from street level.


Hopefully this explains a few things, and remember if you think something is wrong let us know, and we can look into it.
