Building consent fees

Last updated: 1 July 2021

Schedule of Building consent Fees and Charges for 2021/22

Applicants are required to pay the full fee for the consent at the time of application.

Under some conditions, applicants may be required to pay additional fees when processing is completed. This will include fees for development levies, additional inspections, re-assessment, alternative design/details, and other fees required under the Building Act 2004.

The inspection fee is estimated on the number of inspections required for the type of work. If the number of inspections has been over-estimated a refund will be made. If additional inspections are required, they will be charged at the rate applicable at the time they occurred and will need to be paid before we issue a code compliance certificate. The building consent fee includes inspection fees only where shown for minor works.

The fees exclude BRANZ, MBIE, and accreditation levies, and refundable deposits which are scheduled in the ‘other fees’ section and are additional to the building consent fees.

The building consent fees in the following table include the plan vetting and digital storage charges and costs associated with scanning hard copy applications or alternatively paying application costs for electronic applications received through the portal. The building consent fees (other than minor works) include the fee for provision of electronic copy of a building consent.
