A certificate of acceptance may be issued by the Council detailing the level to which unconsented building work complies with the building code.

Only building work undertaken after 1 July 1992 that required building consent can be considered for a certificate of acceptance.

A certificate of acceptance provides building code certification on work that has been carried out without a required building consent, and that we have reasonable grounds to believe complies. It qualifies work that cannot be inspected, so is not as comprehensive as a code compliance certificate.
