Property files contain information such as building consents, resource consents, flooring and drainage plans. All property files are required to be quality assured by Council staff in advance of being ready for you to view. Large or very complex property files may incur a fee for the time it takes to quality assure and prepare for viewing.
Council’s fees and charges have been reviewed as part of the 2021-2031 Long Term Plan process. From 1 July 2021, the fees and charges for property files will be:
- $30.00 – Simple property file (electronic and viewed at counter)
- $60.00 – Complex property file (electronic and viewed at counter) e.g. complex industrial business or industrial establishment
- $27.00 – Material cost e.g. on USB
- $5.00 – Postage e.g. USB to NZ address
- Other charges e.g. scanning, printing etc may apply as per the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 section in the fees and charges schedule.
