Records of Completed Buildings

Except for exempted houses in the New Territories and previous Housing Authority buildings sold or disposed of to the private sector such as home ownership scheme buildings, tenants purchase scheme buildings and Link Properties, the Buildings Department keeps copies of building records and occupation permits for all private buildings.

Inspection and Copying

The building records for completed buildings may be inspected at the Building Information Centre of the Buildings Department or via the “Building Records Access and Viewing On-line” (BRAVO) system over the Internet by the public upon application and payment of the prescribed fee. Immediately after the inspection, the applicant can apply for issue of certified and non-certified copies of building records.

One Stop Copy

The Building Information Centre also provides one stop service for issue of copy. The applicant may obtain copies of building records and occupation permits without having first inspected the records upon application by submitting an application form and payment of the prescribed fee.

Application forms for inspection and one stop service of building records and occupation permits may be obtained from the Buildings Department at the counter on 12/F of Pioneer Centre, 750 Nathan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong, or by downloading soft copies under this homepage.
