Apply for a building information certificate

When would you need this?

Get the document for existing buildings and structures, and for structures that have been erected without approval.

What you need to know:

Building information certificate applications are commonly made when property is being sold and can be from:

• the property owner
• another person, with the property owner’s consent
• the property buyer under a contract of sale, including their solicitor or agent
• a public authority when it has notified the owner.

Note: Swimming pools require an additional form. If a swimming pool is associated with this application, a swimming pool compliance certificate or exemption must also be lodged. This application cannot be lodged through the NSW Planning Portal.
