Costs

What makes up the cost of a rezoning?

A plain explanation of the separate cost components in a rezoning application — without invented prices.

Why there is no single price

Rezoning costs depend on the municipality, the size and complexity of the proposal, and what the decision-maker requires. A responsible quotation is project-specific.

The main components

Expect the following to be separated in any proper quotation:

  • Professional town-planning fees
  • Municipal application fees
  • Advertising and notice costs
  • Specialist reports where required
  • Development contributions or levies that may be imposed on approval
  • Survey or conveyancing costs where linked processes are needed

Costs after approval

Conditions of approval can carry costs, such as services contributions or an approved site development plan. Ask about these early.
