Land Information Memorandum (LIM)
If you are considering purchasing a property in the Tasman District it is recommended that you obtain a LIM before finalising the purchase. Any person may apply to the Council for the issue of a LIM in relation to any land in the district. The Tasman District Council is a Unitary Authority, meaning that both Regional Council and District Council information is included in your LIM.
What Information do I Get?
Information included is covered by Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, Section 44A and will cover:
- rateable valuation data
- rates and water charges
- resource and subdivision consents
- building permits and consents
- compliance schedules, building warrant of fitness
- swimming pool fence compliance
- information notified from the Weathertight Homes Resolution Services
- protected buildings and trees, historic buildings
- drainage information relating to sewer and/or storm water
- domestic water supply
- any special features or characteristics of the land or buildings
- likely presence of hazardous contaminants
- any current requisitions issued by the Council on the property
- registrations and licences
- refuse and recycling collection information.
The LIM may also include any other information relevant to the land which the Council considers, at its discretion, to be relevant.
