Draft Plan of Condominium

Dividing a building or site into units and common elements for separate ownership. One fixed fee, reviewed and signed off by a Registered Professional Planner. From $8,000.

What a Plan of Condominium is

A Plan of Condominium divides a building or a site into individually owned units and shared common elements, so the units can be sold and financed separately. It is processed through the Planning Act and given effect under the Condominium Act, and is usually one of the last planning steps once a development is approved or built.

Several types exist: standard condominiums for apartment and commercial buildings, common element condominiums for things like private roads serving freehold townhouses, vacant land condominiums, and phased condominiums. We confirm the right type and run the application.

When you need one

You need a Plan of Condominium when you are creating separately owned units. Common situations:

Registering an apartment or commercial building as a condominium
A common element condominium for a private road or shared amenity serving freehold homes
A vacant land condominium for a ground-oriented development
Phasing a larger project for staged registration

If you are creating freehold lots rather than condominium units, that is a Draft Plan of Subdivision instead. We confirm which ownership structure fits your project.

FAQ

Draft Plan of Condominium questions

The common ones are standard (apartment or commercial buildings), common element (shared features like a private road serving freehold homes), vacant land (ground-oriented development), and phased. The right type depends on what you are building and how you intend to sell it.

Yes. Units cannot be transferred separately until the plan is registered. The draft plan stage settles the layout and conditions that lead to registration, so it is worth starting early.

A subdivision creates freehold lots. A condominium creates units and common elements within a development that remains a single parcel. Which one you need comes down to the ownership structure you want.

A clean condominium application is one of the more contained planning processes, but timing still depends on the municipality and the conditions attached. We give you a realistic timeline up front.
