A property file is a file that holds information about each property in Rotorua. Each file may contain different information. Some of the more common items you would expect to find include:

- Resource Consents
- Drainage Plans (as-builts)
- Building Warrants of Fitness

Scanned property files are available to public as an online link. This means you'll be able to view the information you need from your own office and home, printing or downloading what you need any time of the day or night.
If you wish to view electronic files at our offices, you may do so using special viewing terminals at council at the Civic Centre, 1061 Haupapa Street, Rotorua.
