Notes

 

  1. All fees stated are inclusive of GST.
  2. The above fees are building consent fees only.  You may incur additional fees for planning and engineering approval, if required.
  3. Should any particular job significantly exceed the set fee, an additional charged based on the actual time will be payable.
  4. Fixed charges are payable on application.  At the end of processing, inspection fees and additional levies may be payable.
  5. Building consent fees include the cost of the Code Compliance Certificate.
  6. We are required to collect fees on behalf of others:
    • Building Research Association Levy
      For every building consent with an estimated value of $20,000 and over, $1.00 per $1,000 is payable. (NB:  GST is not applicable to this levy.)
    • Department of Building and Housing Levy
      For every building consent with an estimated value of $20,000 and over, $2.01 per $1,000 is payable.
    • Development Contributions
      Please be aware that there could be a development contribution fee included in the fees for a building project.  
      These development contributions are required as of 1 July 2004 as the Local Government Act 2002 has implemented legislation for the charging of development contributions throughout New Zealand.  A Code of Compliance Certificate will not be issued if the Development Contribution and Service Levy's applicable to this project are not paid in full.  This can be paid either at the uplifting of the building consent or before Code Compliance Certificate is issued.
  7. Lapsed consents: Building consents lapsed prior to the first inspection being carried out will be refunded the charge already paid, less the cost of the work already carried out.
