Competent authority: determine it only after identifying the exact property, planning area, local body and development type.
Which record applies
The required completion certificate, occupancy certificate or other completion process depends on authority, building category, approval date and applicable rules.
Match records
Compare the certificate or authority record to the planning permission, latest approved plan, building licence, address, survey numbers, use, floors and completed structure.
Utilities are not approval
Tax assessment, electricity, water, door number or occupation does not by itself prove planning compliance or occupancy authorisation.
Independent inspection
Use a competent architect or engineer to inspect the structure and deviations, and verify the certificate with the issuing authority.
