APPLICATION INFORMATION
Under certain circumstances a Territorial Authority may, on application, issue a Certicate of Acceptance for work already done.
This does not apply to building work carried out prior to 1 July 1992.
A Territorial Authority may issue a Certicate of Acceptance only if it is satised, to the best of its knowledge and belief and on
reasonable grounds, that, insofar as it could ascertain, the building work complies with the Building Code.
The above does not relieve a person from the requirement to obtain a Building Consent for building work (excluding building work
described under Schedule 1 of the Building Act 2004).
A Certificate of Acceptance will be issued within 20 working days from application, provided all the information required
has been supplied. The Certificate of Acceptance will be based on the supplied documents. All work listed in the
Certificate of Acceptance documentation must have been carried out to the satisfaction of the Building Consent Authority.
This will be determined through inspections.
COMPLIANCE CHECK
Where applicable a Compliance Check is undertaken to ensure your building work complies with the District Plan.
CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE FEES
A Certicate of Acceptance carries a non-refundable deposit of $515. To see Council’s full Schedule of Fees & Charges visit
waimakariri.govt.nz. All work for the issue of a Certicate of Acceptance over and above this value will be charged and invoiced
additionally in the same way as for a Building Consent application, ie levies, inspections, administration etc as described in
Section 97 of the Building Act 2004.
LEVIES PAYABLE
