Property owners and potential purchasers can view property files by visiting any of the Council's offices in Richmond, Motueka or Tākaka. Council offices hold property files relevant to their location area.
You can also access an electronic version of the file, please email property.files@tasman.govt.nz or call 03 543-8400 to arrange this.
If you want to view the file in person, most files are available “on demand”, but phoning 03 543-8400 or emailing property.files@tasman.govt.nz the day before you wish to view the property file is recommended. It will take a full working day to have files transferred between offices.
Information on the file will include any Council records that we hold at the time of the request relating to completed Building Act and Resource Management Act applications such as:
If you're not sure what some of the information means, we'll be available to assist. There is a charge for retrieving files and photocopying information. See details below on the process for making this payment.
