Voice: "The value of revaluation. Every three years we revalue your property and update your capital value or CV."
[Video: Animated house with a sale sign and text showing the house price increasing from $0.1m to $1.2m. An animated calendar shows 1 May 2024.]
Voice: "Your CV is what we estimate your property would have sold for on the first of May 2024."
[Video: Animation showing three different houses on a white background. Text above the houses reads 'BILL' with a $ dollar sign in a red circle on the left, green circle in the middle and blue circle on the right.]

[Video: Text on a dark blue background reads 'HERE'S HOW IT WORKS'. A graph shows changing property values from 2019 to 2024 using red and blue lines. Two circles show animated properties with 'SOLD' text overlaid in the year 2022 on the blue line and 2023 on the red line. Two other circles show animated properties with 'SALE' signs in the year 2021 on the blue line and 2022 on the red line.]
Voice: "Here's how it works: Valuers assess the CV for all properties by analysing data such as local sales, property type, location and other property factors."
[Video: A red circle with 'CV' overlaid appears on the left side of the screen, a crossed out equal sign is in the middle and 'SALE PRICE' in a blue circle is on the right side.]

Text on right side reads 'RATES' with upward and downward arrows demonstrating increasing and decreasing rates with two cross symbols next to the arrows.
Voice: "A change in your property CV will not necessarily mean your rates will be higher for an increased value, or lower for a decrease."
[Video: Three animated houses pop up with three blue bars extending from them on the left side and three red bars on the right side. On the left side, text reads 'CV' with 'Higher' on the top blue bar, 'Average' on the middle, 'Lower' on the bottom blue bar. On the right side, text reads 'RATES' with 'More than 5.8%' with an upward arrow on the top red bar, 5.8% in the middle and 'Less than 5.8%' with a downward arrow on the bottom red bar.]
Voice: "Usually, only properties with a valuation change higher or lower than the region's average will pay a higher or lower proportion of rates. For example, if the average increase for the general rates is 5.8 per cent, how your property's CV compares to other properties in your area will determine whether your increase from 1 July is more or less than 5.8 per cent."
[Video: Animated house in a circle with '$value' text on top, upward arrow pointing to another circle which reads 'BILL' and has a $ sign. Animated calendar pops up showing 1 July 2025.

Voice: "Auckland's total rates requirements depends on how much money the council needs each year to run the city. This total is divided across all ratepayers using several factors including the CV of your property."
