Property values in Auckland's super-heated market have risen 33 per cent since 2011 and ratepayers will soon get notices of big hikes.
Auckland Council's Registered Valuer Peter McKay says the rise is in line with expectations.
"Local board areas with the largest movements - of over 40% - are Kaipatiki, Maungakiekie-Tamaki, Puketapapa and Whau, reflecting a general value increase in the more central suburbs."
"Average movements within the remaining local boards (excluding the Hauraki Gulf islands) range between 22% and 44%, with the larger movements generally due to proximity to central Auckland, with lower increases found in outer suburban and rural areas."
"Local value movements will vary due to the type of property, its quality and condition, zoning, views and other factors."
