How building consent fee rebates work
When carrying out seismic work you can apply for a building consent fee rebate.
The rebate that applies is:
- 10% of the Council related building consent fee, up to a maximum of $5,000 per consent. The 10% rebate does not apply to third party charges included in the building consent fee, such as the Building Research Levy.
To receive this incentive:
- you must have completed seismic work, and have received a certificate of code compliance
- the Council must have confirmed that your building is no longer earthquake-prone
- the building consent must be for seismic work, and
- you must apply within 12 months of your EPB notice being uplifted.
