Land Information Memorandums (LIMs)
Whakatane District Council provides prospective property buyers with current and historical information on land and property.
Land Information Memoranda (LIM) is a comprehensive report containing everything the Council knows about a particular property or section. Information on land and property is obtained from Council records, with the Council obliged to make it available on request under Section 44A of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.
LIM information includes:
- Private and public stormwater and sewerage drains
- Unpaid rates
- Consents, certificates, notices, orders or requisitions affecting the land or buildings
- District Plan classifications that relate to the land or buildings
- Special land features including potential erosion, avulsion, falling debris, slippage and possible hazardous substances
- Any information relating to the property supplied by network utility operators in relation to the Building Act 2004
- Other relevant information.
People usually request a LIM when considering whether or not to invest in residential or commercial property.
