Consent application fee
The cost of putting in your residential or small heated pool will depend on the nature and value of your project. There are separate fees for resource and building consents.

How to apply for a consent to put in a residential or small heated pool
Our tip
If your residential or small heated pool is close to a boundary, and you have the written approval from your neighbours, you can apply for a
Deemed Permitted Boundary Activity.
This application replaces the need to apply for a resource consent.
You will still need to apply for a building consent, if required.
