Summer services update
The Toitū Te Whenua property information system helps people, organisations and government make decisions about the use of property.
The system includes:
- property boundaries
- zoning (how land and property can be used)
- rating valuation (for the funding of local government services like sewerage, rubbish collection, water provision, and recreational, arts, environmental and community services)
- market values (allowing mortgages to be raised and lodged on titles, and helping with the sale and transfer of property assets)
- property addresses (for mail and courier services, emergency services, and utilities like power and water)
- utility and infrastructure connections
- electoral boundaries
- place names
- resource and building consents
- building information (giving emergency services, finance companies and insurance companies information about the building).
