How much is it going to cost to get a building consent (building permit)?

This varies on the amount/type of work you are carrying out and is calculated from the Schedule of Building Charges (see the link below). (A copy of this schedule can also be picked up at our service centres or can be posted to you.)

Please note that there is now a minimum fee that is payable at the time of application. Additional fees will be charged if necessary at the time of approval, and may also include other Council charges that are due at that time.

The cost of processing a building consent is generally time-based. The quality of the information provided at application will effect the overall fees (i.e. low quality drawings and details will take longer to process and cost more).

There will also be charges for the Inspections required for the consent.

You will need to discuss your requirements with a Building Consent Officer.
