Napier City Council has agreed to offer rates remissions for displaced, flood affected ratepayers to apply for.
Adopted in a resolution by the council at a meeting on Thursday, it recognises that the flood event last week met the requirements for extraordinary circumstances.
Those who have been displaced from their households as a result of the flooding or land slip damage will be able to apply by filling in an application form which will become available next week.
Remissions for the full 2020/21 year will be available for those who have been or will be displaced from their property for longer than three months.
