Thousands of property rates valuations in Auckland are caught in an unprecedented dispute between the council and state-owned valuer QV.

QV has been found to have taken short-cuts in thousands of valuations for setting property rates, and missed two deadlines to complete the work.

“Council is disappointed in the quality of QV’s work, which has resulted in lengthy delays for ratepayers, and considerable re-work for the council and QV,” it said in a briefing statement to councillors obtained by Stuff.
