Building and development/Building and Resource consents/Before you start a building project

Before you start a building project

Many building projects may also require a resource consent. Find out which consents and permissions you might need.

  • Do I need a consent
    Certain projects will require a building consent, resource consent, or both.
  • Property information
    Access current and historical information on land and property that's useful when you're buying or selling, or making changes to your property.
  • What will a building project cost
    Consent fees will vary in cost depending on the type of project. View the fees here.
  • Talk to us before you apply for a consent
    Our Duty Planner and Duty Builder are here to help.
  • Is your design ready
    Your application must provide sufficient detail to demonstrate compliance with the City Plan and the New Zealand Building Code.
  • Reducing construction waste
    Together we can send less construction waste to landfill by changing the way we plan, design, build and dispose.
  • Free eco design consultation
    If you're designing a new build or improving an existing home, you can now get free advice on how to make your project more sustainable.
  • Meet Bob – your building consent AI agent
    With the growing demand for quick and reliable information, Tauranga City Council has introduced Bob to make building consent information easier to access.
  • Building forms, guidance and reports
    Forms, guidance and reports related to your building projects and what you may need to supply Council.
