Building
Government levies
Certain building consent applications must pay government levies in addition to Council’s building consent fees below. We collect the levies and pay them to the Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ) and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). The BRANZ levy is $1.00 per $1,000.00 for building work valued at $20,000 including GST or more. The MBIE levy is $1.75 per $1,000.00 for building work valued at $65,000.00 including GST or more.
Accreditation fee
All building consent applications must pay a Council accreditation fee, in addition to Council’s building consent fees. To issue building consents, we have to meet certain standards set by the government (accreditation). This fee helps to cover the cost of meeting those requirements (Building Accreditation of Building Consent Authorities Regulations 2006).
| Accreditation levy (applies to all Building Consents) | $1.80 | Per $1,000.00 building work |
| Building Research levy (BRANZ) | $1.00 per $1,000 value or part thereof for project valued at $20,000 or more | |
| MBIE levy | $1.75 per $1,000 value or part thereof for project valued at $65,000 or more | |
| Electronic Lodgement Fee. This fee is an external cost from a third-party service provider for the full process of a consent application | $152.00 (This fee is included within the consent type fees below) | |
Fee Types
(There are two fee types)
- Fixed fee
This fee covers projects where the costs are easily identified before application, or where an average rate is appropriate. The amount is fixed. No additional costs will be charged by Stratford District Council (SDC) in regards to the fee quoted. - Base fee
The base fee is based on the anticipated costs for the processing of the application. In some cases, actual costs of a project may exceed the estimated base fee due to external specialist input, amendments, additional information submitted, application complexity, inspection complexity or additional inspections undertaken. When this happens any additional amount will be charged in accordance with the staff charge out rates.
A typical calculation for the fee to pay can be done using this formula:
- Base Fee for category + MBIE/BRANZ levies (if applicable) + Inspections + Accreditation levy
- SDC inspection list can be found here.
