If you're purchasing a property, an unregistered place certificate proves you're not inheriting unexpected heritage restrictions. If you're developing near a heritage site, an affected place certificate clarifies whether your project needs heritage approval. The regulations simply put a price tag on these official checks — about 25 fee units (roughly $4,000-$5,000 depending on the current fee unit value, though this changes annually)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/historic-cultural-heritage-regulations-2016","history":"/api/acts/historic-cultural-heritage-regulations-2016/history","analysis":"/api/acts/historic-cultural-heritage-regulations-2016/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/historic-cultural-heritage-regulations-2016/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/historic-cultural-heritage-regulations-2016/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/historic-cultural-heritage-regulations-2016/documents"}}
