What is a LIM?

A Land Information Memorandum (LIM) is a document containing information that the Council holds about a specific property. Anyone may apply for a LIM for any property within the Central Otago District.

What information do I get?

• rates payable for the current year
• planning information, for example resource consents, planning zones
• protected buildings and trees, historic buildings
• building permits, consents and code compliance certificates
• building warrants of fitness
• licences
• access to water, sewer, stormwater and drainage services
• any special characteristics of the land or buildings
• any requisitions issued by the Council within the property

What information does the Council need to issue a LIM?

• street address
• legal description, eg, Lot and DP number
• current owner’s name
• service address and/or fax number for the applicant

How long does it take and how much does it cost?

Payment must be submitted with the application.

Council reserves the right to make an additional charge where search requirements are unusually complex or extensive.

Applications

While applications may be submitted by fax, Council will not process applications until payment is received.

A separate application is required for each portion of land held under separate valuation references.
