Plans of Condominium

A condominium is a type of tenure or ownership. Typically, a condominium owner does not own the land but rather the building or unit located on or above the land.

What is a "Draft Plan of Condominium"?

A draft plan of condominium is similar to a plan of subdivision in that it creates new parcels called Units. A significant difference is that condominium units are often three-dimensional, comprising the inner walls and ceiling of a building. In addition, condominium units can also be parcels of land. Unit owners typically share in ownership and maintenance of "common elements." These are other parts of a condominium that are not privately owned, such as roads, visitor parking, communal spaces and certain landscaping.

What is a Registered Plan of Condominium?

A registered plan of condominium is a plan that implements an approved draft plan of condominium. A registered plan of condominium shows:

• the exact survey boundaries and dimensions of lots or units that have been created
• the location and type of common elements

A registered plan of condominium creates new units and common elements and can be legally used for the sale of units or parcels of land.

What are the different types of Plans of Condominium?

There are four types of plans of condominium:

• Standard Condominium
• Common Element Condominium
• Phased Condominium
• Vacant Land Condominium
