Depreciation Reports - New Requirements

Effective July 1, 2024, the Province has made changes to the Strata Property Act Regulations that impact how Depreciation Reports must be obtained.

Essentially, the main changes are:

• Strata corporations can no longer “Opt Out” or defer getting a depreciation report by way of 3/4 vote.
• Strata corporations must obtain depreciation reports on a five-year cycle.
• Strata corporations without depreciation reports, or depreciation reports received prior to December 31, 2020, will have until July 1, 2026, to obtain depreciation reports:

Funding to obtain depreciation reports can still be done through the operating budget or by Majority Vote Resolution from the Contingency Reserve Fund.
