From plan to permit in TAS
Buying a plan is the first step, not the last. Here is the sequence most Tasmania projects follow.
- 1Buy your plan and download the full set
- 2Engage a local designer to adapt the plan to your site
- 3Confirm which risk category your work falls into, which determines the level of oversight
- 4Obtain structural engineering, a soil report and a NatHERS assessment
- 5Engage a building surveyor and lodge with your council as Permit Authority
What catches people out in TAS
Tasmania takes a risk-based approach: work is categorised as low risk (Categories 1 and 2), notifiable (Category 3), or permit work. A new dwelling is permit work.
Notifiable work skips the building permit but still requires assessment by a building surveyor.
Owner-builders need a separate Owner Builder Permit from CBOS in addition to the building permit.
This is general guidance, not legal or building advice. Requirements change and vary by council, so always confirm with a building surveyor, with permits issued through your council as Permit Authority before you lodge.
