Levies follow utility interest, which equals ownership interest unless reassessed. The long-term maintenance plan covers at least 10 years for developments under 10 units. Enter each owner's figure from the title documents; equal numbers give equal shares.

A simple long-term maintenance fund plan

List each shared item you will have to replace, today's cost and the years it has left. The yearly figure is the cost divided by the years, with no allowance for price rises or interest.

Columns: item, cost today (NZD), years left.

The plan needs NZ$4,542 a year. Your budget puts NZ$3,000 a year into the long-term maintenance fund.
