Rates-avoider keeps house

An Auckland ratepayer who owed nearly $60,000 in unpaid rates has avoided having their North Shore section sold.

The vacant Belmont section was to be sold today by Barfoot and Thompson following orders from the High Court.

The owners hadn't made any rates payments since March 2005 and the Auckland Council had exhausted all attempts to recover the money.

Today's auction was withdrawn after the debt was paid.
