A mass appraisal the council runs every three years to divide the rates bill, not a market price, and not a valuation of this house in particular.

- **No flooding modelled for this rating unit**, Modelled flood levels: no flooding modelled in a 50-year event; no flooding modelled in a 200-year event · ground about 4.99 m NZVD2016 (4.72 m–5.8 m)

These are modelled floor and flood levels from the council’s freeboard viewer, not a surveyed finished floor or a finding on this house, for anything with money attached, the council’s LIM is the certified property file.
