About the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Levy for 2024

There is an update to the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Levy that occurred on 1 July 2024. These updates to the fire and emergency levy mean changes in the cost of insurance for home owners, businesses, and even vehicles across New Zealand. The fire and emergency levy funds the service that Fire and Emergency New Zealand provides and is charged by insurers based on eligible insurance policies.

The levy will affect fire insurance, residential buildings insurance, contents insurance and motor vehicle insurance for vehicles under 3.5 tonnes gross laden weight. This means that there will be a small increase in insurance costs when policy holders go through renewals of their policies.
