Nelson City Council will review how rates are spread across the district following new property valuations which could cause rates to skyrocket in some areas.
The review comes after a warning from Nelson Grey Power that pensioners will be forced from their homes if the council or Government do not act to even the spread.
Three-yearly property valuations, on which the council bases its rating calculations, were released last week.
Their full impact on next year's rates will not be known until the council goes through the annual plan process and decides how much money it needs to spend and collect.
