Building Consents & LIMs
Understanding Consents
Want to understand how building consents, LIM Reports, Resource Consents are applied for? Check out these short and informative videos from Hutt City Council (they’re relevant to us here too)
LIMS
A LIM provides information useful for people considering purchasing a property. This includes; existing Building and Resource Consents, District Plan zoning status, presence of flood zones or other hazards
Cost and processing times:
- Regular LIM Up to 10 working days from receipt of payment - $200 incl. GST
- Urgent LIM - 2 working days - $300 incl. GST.
Important: LIMs disclose all relevant information known to the Kaikoura District Council about a property - they do not contain information that is not known by this Council (such as any resource consents issues by Environment Canterbury). If you are considering purchasing a property you may also wish to apply for a LIR (Land Information Report) from Environment Canterbury.
