Change of property ownership or owner’s name
Auckland Council must be notified if a property changes ownership or a property owner changes their name.
Your solicitor will arrange these changes for you.
They will let us know about the change by submitting a Notice of Change (NoC) to Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), through the Landonline system.
When you need a solicitor to update your details
Common situations where a property owner needs to use a solicitor to complete a Notice of Change include:
- a change of ownership through a property sale
- a change of ownership without a sale, for example a property inheritance
- adding or removing an additional owner to the title
- a change to a property owner’s name, for example through marriage or divorce
- to correct an error in a property owner’s name.
Your solicitor will do this for you, but if you would like to know more about the Notice of Change process, visit the Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) information website.
See our privacy policy for more information.
