Table of Fees

New Landonline fees and charges effective from 1 July 2010

New fees and charges for survey and title products and services effective from 1 July 2010.

New fees schedule and information sheet:

Landonline fees and charges from 1 October 2010

Landonline product and service fees are GST inclusive. The rise in GST to 15% announced by the Government in May will be incorporated in these fees from 1 October.

An additional column has been included in the table below to reflect the 1 October GST changes. A new fees schedule has also been prepared:

Special note for customers: Unfortunately we were unable to take the rise in GST into consideration prior to implementation of the 1 July fees, as the fees had already been gazetted (on 6 May) prior to the 20 May budget announcement.

Rounding the fees would have required a legislative change, and there was insufficient time to go through this process prior to 1 October. LINZ will be monitoring the property market over the next year, and if required a further fees review will take place. Fees would then be rounded as part of this review process.
