Step 8
Check if your tank will be freestanding
Consider how the rainwater tank will be installed.
See whether it will be a freestanding structure, or whether it will rely on another structure, such as a roof or wall, for support.

Example of a freestanding water tank and tanks supported by a roof
Will your water tank be freestanding?
- If yes, you do not need a Building Permit. Learn about installing and maintaining a water tank safely.
- If no, you will need a Building Permit. See if you also need Report and Consent.
