Building Consent Applications
|
| |
Government Levies
Certain building consent applications must pay government levies in addition to Council's building consent fees below. We collect the levies and pay them to the Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ) and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). The BRANZ levy is $1.00 per $1,000.00 for building work valued at $20,000 including gst or more. The MBIE levy is $1.75 per $1,000.00 for building work valued at $20,444.00 including gst or more.

Accreditation Fee
All building consent applications must pay a Council accreditation fee, in addition to Council's building consent fees below. To issue building consents, we have to meet certain standards set by the government (accreditation). This fee helps to cover the cost of meeting those requirements (Building Accreditation of Building Consent Authorities Regulations 2006).

Building Fees
All our fees are "deposits" unless we identify them as "fixed". This means we may charge additional fees if necessary to cover the actual time involved. Our fees are set at 100% of the average time involved. But, if you have a large or complex building project, you should budget to receive additional fees on top of your deposit.
You'll need to pay all your levies and fees at the time you lodge your application. If we need to charge you additional fees, you'll need to pay those before we can provide you with the approved consent or code compliance certificate.
