What to Do When Your Property Is Missing a CCC
Finding out a consented project was never signed off is more common than you'd think — here's how we resolve it.
Book a ConsultationA missing Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) usually comes to light during a property sale, refinance, or LIM report request — and it can catch owners off guard, especially when the consented work was completed years earlier, sometimes by a previous owner.
CodeCompliance investigates the property file and consent history to understand exactly why the CCC was never issued, then manages the process required to close it out.
How we resolve a missing CCC
Pull the property file and consent history from council to understand what was approved and what's outstanding
Inspect the completed work against the approved plans
Identify any missed inspections, missing documentation, or incomplete work
Arrange remedial building work or missing paperwork through our network of licensed trades and consultants
Manage the full council process until the CCC is issued, or advise on the Certificate of Acceptance pathway if a CCC is no longer available
Documents that help us move quickly
LIM report or property file summary, if you already have one
Any consent documents or correspondence with council you may hold
Details of any renovations or extensions carried out on the property
Contact details for any previous builders involved, if known
Every missing CCC situation is different depending on when the work was done and what records exist. We assess your specific property before giving any indication of scope, cost or timeframe — Auckland Council makes the final decision on any application.
How a missing CCC typically comes to light
Most owners don't know they have a missing CCC until a specific event triggers a property file check. The most common triggers are:
A LIM report requested before or during a sale process — the most common trigger
A bank or mortgage lender requesting evidence of compliance during refinancing
A building inspector's report noting an open consent with no CCC on the council file
A renovation quote that prompts a builder to check the property's consent history
An insurance review that flags an undocumented addition or alteration
