A Building Information Certificate is usually obtained by a buyer or seller of a property to ensure a particular building and its land can remain as is for 7 years, without any regulatory action being taken by us. It can apply to the whole or part of a building.
The application may be lodged by:
To lodge your Building Information Certificate application with us, email the Application for Building Information Certificate to AlburyCity, or apply via the NSW Planning Portal (please note you will still be required to provide a copy of the Application for Building Information Certificate form to your Portal application)
Once your application is ready to lodge into our system for assessment, we’ll get in touch to arrange payment of fees by credit card (or invoice to existing debtor account)
To determine an application, we’ll need to inspect the building and review our records and documentation submitted as part of the application. We’ll get in touch to arrange the inspection or if any further information is required.
A Building Information Certificate is issued under Section 6.7 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979. Please note these certificates were formerly known as building certificates.
The cost of a Building Information Certificate can be viewed in our fees and charges. You’ll need to pay an additional inspection fee if we need to carry out more than one inspection.
