Legislation: Land Titles Act, Registry Act, Condominium Act, 1998

Bulletin content:

I. Introduction

The Condominium Act, 1998 is the culmination of many years of consultation to reform the existing legislation. The new Act will provide for increased consumer protection through more detailed disclosure requirements prior to the sale of a condominium, mandatory post construction audits of the common elements after registration of the condominium project and ongoing reserve fund studies to ensure adequate funding is available for repairs throughout the life of the condominium.

In addition to the increased consumer protection, the new Act will introduce new forms of condominium ownership. These forms will allow the industry to address a variety of consumer needs by allowing freeholds and leasehold condominiums. Beyond the standard condominium type now in existence, the new forms of freehold condominiums will encompass vacant land condominiums, common element condominiums, amalgamation and phasing of standard condominiums. Standard condominiums can also be constructed on leasehold lands.

The provision of this Bulletin are effective as of May 5, 2001, being the date the Condominium Act, 1998 (new Act) comes into force. A series of Regulations under the new ActO.Reg 48/01, 49/01, 50/01, 51/01 and 52/01 have been filed and are available on the MCBS Internet site – Condominium Authority.

In summary the types of condominiums in the new Act are:

  1. Standard Condominiums

    Standard Condominiums will be entitled – ‘(Land Registry Office (LRO) Division) Standard Condominium Corporation (Plan) No.[Enter office number]’. All condominiums in existence at the time the Condominium Act, 1998 comes into force are deemed to be standard condominiums however, the word “Standard” shall not be added to their name.

  2. Leasehold Condominiums

    Leasehold Condominiums will be entitled – ‘(LRO Division) Leasehold Condominium Corporation (Plan) No.[Enter office number]’. It is anticipated that Leasehold condominiums will be developed on institutional lands (e.g. universities, hospitals) where there is an obligation for the institution to maintain title to the property. The initial term of the leasehold condominium will be between 40 and 99 years.

  3. Vacant Land Condominiums

    Vacant Land Condominiums will be entitled – “(LRO Division) Vacant Land Condominium Corporation (Plan) No.[Enter office number]’. Units are not part of a building or structure. Units are on one level only and the condominium must contain common elements. A vacant land condominium must be freehold and cannot be combined with any other type of condominium.

  4. Common Elements Condominium

    Common Elements Condominiums will be entitled – ‘(LRODivision) Common Elements Condominium Corporation (Plan) No.[Enter office number]’. Common Elements Condominiums have no units. The owners of the common interest are owners of freehold parcels of land (parcels on the land or POTL’s that are not part of the condominium property. The parcels of tied land must all be in the same land registration division as the condominium land and they must have a land titles absolute title or have a valid certificate of title.

  5. Phased Condominiums

    A Phased Condominium will be entitled – ‘(LRO Division) Standard Condominium Corporation (Plan) No. [Enter office number]’. Only standard condominiums may be phased and the intention to create a phased condominium must be indicated on the first page of the declaration. The declaration must also set out the “servant tenement” which all lands that the declarant owns and intends to include in the condominium as future phases. The phases will occur by way of an amendment to the declaration and description and will re-describe the condominium lands to include a part of or the entire servient tenement. Future phases can be registered within ten years of the time of initial registration.

  6. Amalgamated Condominiums

    An Amalgamated Condominium will be entitled – ‘(LRO Division) Standard Condominium Corporation (Plan) No.[Enter office number]’. Only standard condominium corporations may amalgamate. The word ‘amalgamated’ will not be part of the name of the new condominium corporation or plan. All declarations, descriptions, bylaws and rules of the amalgamating corporations cease to apply and will not be brought forward to the amalgamated corporation. All outstanding encumbrances or interests that affect the common elements or units in the amalgamating condominiums will continue and will be brought forward to the appropriate or register in the amalgamated condominiums.

    Registration checklists for each type of condominium will be available for staff and clients. The checklists will be updated periodically.

II. Transition Provisions

The regulation under the new Act set out a transition period of 6 months, commencing when the new Act comes into force on May 5th, 2001. A declaration and description may be submitted for registration under the old Act during this time however, they still must go through the pre-approval process and be registered on or before October 31, 2001. This provision also applies to amendments to the declaration and description.

III. General Provisions

  1. Condominium Corporations Index

    The Condominium Corporations Index is continued under the new Act (s.3(3)) and will be in the existing format being MCBS Form 10315 (88).

  2. Non-Automated Condominium Register – Land Titles Act/Registry Act

    If the records of the condominium property are not automated, the Condominium Register, referred to in s.3(4) of the Act, will be kept in a loose-leaf book and will include a set of four groups of pages, continued from the old Act, consisting of:

    1. a property Parcel Register or Property Abstract Index in the existing MCBS Form 10314 (88);
    2. a Constitution Index in the existing MCBS Form 10316 (88);
    3. a Common Elements and General Index in the existing MCBS Form 10317 (88).

  3. Automated Condominium Register – Land Titles Act

    1. If the records of the condominium property are automated, the Condominium Register shall contain one PIN for each unit;
    2. If the records of a common elements condominium property are automated, the Condominium Register shall contain one PIN for the property.
  4. Pre-Approval for Registration

    The requirement continues that all condominium declarations and descriptions and amendments to the declaration and description must be approved by the appropriate Land Registry Office prior to the submission for registration.

  5. Condominium Estate and Type Statements

    The statements setting out the estate (freehold or leasehold) and the type (common elements, phased, standard, vacant land) shall be included on the first page of the declaration.

  6. Planning Authority Conditions

    Easements can be created in the declaration as a result of conditions of approval imposed by the Planning Authority. These easements can benefit third parties. (s.20, new Act) If such easements are created in the declaration, Schedule A will include a note identifying the easements as being so created and a reference to the location within the declaration where the statement of planning conditions are set out. (s.7(2)(g), new Act)

  7. Descriptions of Easements

    Descriptions of easements must be in compliance with O.Reg. 43/96, with the following exceptions, as outlined in s.45(5), O.Reg 49/01. An easement is created upon the registration of the declaration and description may be described by reference to physical features or a specified level, or levels, and must be illustrated on the condominium survey plans. The extent of the easement must be clearly illustrated as a closed figure and with the use of arrows. A surveyor must be able to physically establish the horizontal and vertical extents of the easement strictly from information contained on the plan. An easement so described will be deemed to have the approval of the Examiner of Surveys and Land Registrars are authorized to accept them.

  8. Easements Affecting Part of a Unit or Exclusive Use Portion

    Where an easement affects part of a unit or an exclusive use portion, the requirement will continue that the part so affected will be illustrated and defined by measurements on the plan defining the unit or exclusive use portion or description as a PART on a reference plan.

  9. Description Plan Sheets

    The description will contain four parts. They are as follows:

    • Part I – the perimeter plan sheet and diagram of the units.
    • Part II – the exclusive use portions of the common elements.
    • Part III – the architectural plans.
    • Part IV – the structural plans.

    Although the regulation uses roman numerals, the use of numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 is also acceptable.

  10. PIN/Parcel/Certificate of Title Notation

    The perimeter plan sheet for all condominiums, other than amalgamations, will include a notation above or below the Schedule of Appurtenant and Servient Interests (Form 3, O.Reg. 48/01) that relates the land included in the plan to the whole, part or reminder of the land described in the existing underlying PINs, parcels or certificates of title.

  11. Declaration Schedules

    The regulations under the old Act prescribe only one schedule, being the description of the property set out in Schedule A. The new Act prescribes all required schedules, which vary depending upon the type of condominium, from Schedules A to M. See Appendix A for a summary of each.

  12. Schedule C to the Declaration – Unit Boundaries

    Section 5(4) and 56(4) of O.Reg 48/01 set out the requirements for Schedule C to the declaration. These subsections specify that the unit boundaries be referenced to buildings or monuments and fully describe the monuments or in the case of a vacant land condominium certify that the unit boundaries are controlled by the monuments illustrated on the plan sheet. Schedule C cannot contain inclusions or exclusions from the unit. Typically inclusions and exclusions are pipes, wires, cables, conduits etc. These items more properly belong in the body of the declaration. A note may be included, below the surveyor’s signature, referring the reader to specific portions of the declaration that details ownership, maintenance and repair obligations of these items. If these inclusions and exclusions are contained in Schedule C, the Land Registrar is to refuse the declaration.

  13. Architectural and Structural Plans and Certificates of Completion – Schedule G

    If the description contains architectural plans (prepared by an architect) and structural plans, Schedule G of the declaration shall contain an architect’s certificate and one or more engineer’s certificates. (s.8(1)(b) & (e), new Act)

    If the description contains architectural plans (prepared by an architect) and no structural plans Schedule G of the declaration shall contain only an architect’s certificate. (s.8(1)(b) & (e), new Act)

    If the description contains structural plans and no architectural plans, Schedule G of the declaration shall contain only one or more engineer’s certificates. (s.9(2), O.Reg. 48/01)

    Similar to the old Act, if architectural plans are no available, inadequate or not required under the Building Code Act, drawings that are sufficient to enable the construction of the buildings prepared by a non-architect are deemed to be architectural plans (s.13, O.Reg. 49/01) and the completion certificate of Schedule G can be completed by an architect and/or an engineer(s). (s.5(8), O.Reg. 48/01) (Note: s.9(3) O.Reg. 48/01 sets out the that the completion certificates are part of the declaration)

    The Schedule G certificates will together address all the matters required by O.Reg. 48/01. (Form 2 or Form 17)

    Registration requirements:

    • One set of paper prints of the architectural and structural plans must be submitted to the land registry office.
    • Architectural and Structural Plans will include the following endorsement on each sheet:
      • [Enter type of endorsement] (Standard, Common Element, Vacant Land or Leasehold)
      • Condominium Plan No.[Enter plan number]
      • Part (III or IV), Sheet [Enter sheet number] of [Total number of sheets number] Sheets

    Note: The regulations under the new Act no longer require the total number of Parts on architectural/structural plans.

  14. Encroachments

    The treatment of encroachments remains unchanged. The portion of condominium buildings located outside the condominium property are not governed by the Condominium Act, 1998. The title to encroachments should be resolved prior to registration of the condominium however, if title resolution does not take place, the notes set out below must be included in the declaration and on the description to reflect the encroachment particulars.

    Declaration – Include one of the following notes in a prominent place on the first page of the declaration.

    Where there is no encroachment agreement:

    • Caution: The portion of the condominium building shown in hatched outline on Part [Enter part number] Sheet [Enter sheet number] of the description, encroaches upon the adjoining land and is not governed by the Condominium Act, 1998.

    Where there is an encroachment agreement:

    • Caution: The portion of the condominium building shown in the hatched outline on Part [Enter part number] Sheet [Enter sheet number] of the description encroaches upon the adjoining lands and is not governed by the Condominium Act, 1998 and is subject of an agreement registered as Instrument No.[Enter instrument number].

    Description – Include one of the following notes adjacent to the encroachment that will be highlighted in hatched outline.

    Where there is no encroachment agreement:

    • Caution: That portion of the condominium building shown in hatched outline heron encroaches onto adjoining lands and is not governed by the Condominium Act, 1998.

    Where there is an encroachment agreement:

  15. Non-Contiguous Portions of Units

    The treatment of non-contiguous portions of units remain unchanged. Where two or more portions of a unit are non-contiguous each portion will be identified as an area of that unit. (e.g. Unit 1, Area 1; Unit 1, Area 2) A note will be included on the plan in close proximity to the affected unit(s) stating that: “Unit(s) [Enter unit number], is (are) comprised of non-contiguous areas designated by the same unit number”

  16. Reserving Corporation Numbers

    Condominium Corporation Numbers cannot be reserved. Land Registrars are not to assign a number to a condominium corporation until the declaration and description are being registered.

  17. Land Registration Reform Act

    Declarations and descriptions are exempt from requiring a Document General, Form 4. (s.3, O.Reg. 17/99)

  18. Ontario New Home Warranties Plan

    Land Registrars are required to forward a copy of all condominium declarations and amendments that create a phase in a phased condominium corporation after registering to:

    Ontario New Home Warranties Program
    5160 Yonge Street
    Suite 600
    Toronto, ON
    M2N 6L9
    Attention: Condominium Manager

IV. Condominium Types

  1. Vacant Land Condominiums

    Vacant Land Condominiums will consist of units and common elements. The units may be vacated lots similar to lots on a plan of subdivision. A unit may contain building(s) and structure(s) as long they are wholly contained within the unit and do not form any part of the unit boundaries.

    Section 158 of the new Act required that all buildings, structures, facilities and services on the common elements in a vacant land condominium be completed, installed and provided in accordance with O.Reg. 48/01, prior to the registration of the declaration and description. The new Act, however, also allows the declarant to post a bond or other security with a body specified by the municipality when the buildings, structures, facilities and services are not complete prior to registration.

    When such a bond or security is posted:

    • Schedule G of the declaration will not contain any completion certificates and the architectural and structural plans will not be submitted with the initial registration. Schedule G will contain a statement that will not be submitted with initial registration. Schedule G will contain a statement that the certificates will be included in an amendment to the description and a statement from the municipalities or MMAH that the bond or security is sufficient to ensure that the buildings and structures will be completed and the facilities and services will be installed in accordance with the new Act.
    • The submission of architectural and structural plans and the architect/engineer completion certificates will be registered as an amendment to the description in Form 21, O.Reg. 48/01, at some point after the registration of the condominium when the buildings, structures, facilities and services are complete. There are no time restrictions associated with this requirement.
    • Schedule H will list all buildings, structures, facilities and services that will be included in the common elements upon the registration of the amendment.
    • The surveyor is to list all four Parts on all plan sheets even though the last two parts will be submitted at a later date. This will eliminate the need to amend all the plan sheets when Part III and IV are submitted with Form 21, O.Reg. 48/01. The index on the first plan sheet will indicate ‘NIL’ for the number of sheets for Part III – Architectural Plans and Part IV – Structural Plans.
    • Any existing plan sheets that are amended when the Architectural and Structural Plans are submitted (e.g. first plan sheet – index & illustrations of the perimeter of the buildings are structures) must include references to the registration number of Form 21, O.Reg. 48/01. The process to amend the plan sheets in the same as the one set out for s.107 amendments described in Section V, Item 1 of this Bulletin.

    If there are no buildings, structures, facilities and services on the common element this will be stated in Schedule H of the declaration and there will be no Schedule G. If there are no buildings and structures on the common elements there will be no architectural and structural plans.

  2. Common Elements Condominiums

    Common Elements Condominiums do not contain units. The common interests in the condominium attach to freehold parcels of land located in the same land registration division as the condominium property. The freehold parcels (parcels of tied land or POTL’s) are identified and described in Schedule D to the declaration.

    Automated Land Titles System:

    In the automated system one PIN will be opened for the condominium property. Generally, documents related to the condominium will be registered on this PIN and documents which relate to specific parcels of tied land. A remark will be placed on the parcel registers for the parcels of tied land notifying the user to search the common elements condominium PIN for additional encumbrances.

    • the Owners’ Names field in the Common Elements Condominium PIN will contain ‘The owners from time to time of the parcels of tied land as set out in Schedule D to the declaration’.
    • the thumbnail description for each parcel of tied land will be amended to include: ‘together with an undivided common interest for (LRO division) Common Elements Condominium No.[Enter condo number]’
    • a property remark will be added to the PIN or parcel register of each parcel of tied land that states: ‘For additional encumbrances the PIN for (LRO division) Common Elements Condominium No.[Enter condo number] in Block [Enter block numner] must be examined.’

    Non-automated Land Titles System:

    • make an addition to the parcel register for each parcel of tied land that states: ‘Together with an undivided common interest in (LRO division) Common Elements Condominium Corporation No.[Enter plan number] as in Declaration registered as Instrument No.[Enter instrument number]’
    • a long entry will be added to the parcel register of each parcel of tied land that states: ‘For additional encumbrances the Common Elements and General Index for (LRO Division) Common Elements Condominium Plan No.[Enter plan numnber] must be examined.’
    • remark the declaration in the Property Parcel Register and the Commons Elements and General Index with: ‘Note: The owners of this parcel are the owners from time to time of the parcels of tied land as set out in Schedule D to the declaration’.

    Non-automated Registry System:

    • a remark may be added to the Abstract Index for each POTL referencing the applicable instrument number or reference plan part.

    If there are no buildings, structures, facilities and services on the common elements this will be stated in Schedule H of the declaration and there will be no Schedule G. If there are no buildings and structures on the common elements there will be no architectural and structural plans.

    A parcel of tied land can be subdivided, however the common interest attached to the original parcel of land remains unaffected. To redistribute the common interest among the subdivided parcels and amendment creating new parcels of tied land must be registered.

  3. Amalgamating Condominiums

    Two or more standard condominiums may amalgamate into a single standard condominium.

    The regulations require, as part of Schedule C to the declaration, two lists which indicate the relationship between the old unit numbers and levels and the new unit numbers and levels and vice versa. These lists assist clients in searching titles following the amalgamation. These changes must not create new units or adjust unit or condominium property boundaries and Land Registrars are not to accept declarations and descriptions for amalgamated condominiums that do so.

    Schedule A to the declaration of the amalgamated condominium may contain a solicitor’s statement specifying easements that will merge in law and no longer exist upon the registration of the declaration and description.

    The perimeter plan sheets for amalgamated condominiums are not required to show underlying geographics and PINs, parcels and instrument numbers for units illustrated thereon. If shown staff are to encourage the surveyor to remove them however if the surveyor elects to have this information remain its accuracy must be confirmed.

    In the non-automated Registry system a reference to the amalgamated condominium will be recorded in the Unit Index for each unit in the amalgamating condominiums.

  4. Phased Condominiums

    A standard condominium may be designated a phased condominium under the new Act. Schedule A to the declaration will identify lands owned by the declarant which are intended to be included in the condominium property upon the registration of future phases. These lands are defined as the ‘servient lands’. Phasing will permit for the addition of units and common elements through an amendment to the declaration and description without following the amendment provisions of s.107 of the Act.

    s.51(e), O.Reg. 48/01 – the phase cannot be part of a building that was included in a previous phase or the initial registration; this prevents phasing within a building.

    The declaration and description will be registered against the servient lands.

    It should be noted that the Act does not identify the initial registration of the declaration and description as a phase. The first phase is the first amendment to the declaration and description creating a phase.

    Schedule A to the declaration for an amendment creating a phase may contain a solicitor’s statement specifying easements that will merge in law and no longer exist upon the registration of the amendment.

    Automated System

    Following the registration of an amendment for a phase, the thumbnail description for a unit added to the condominium, in the automated land titles system, will not include underlying geographics. For example a thumbnail will appear as: “Unit 1, level 1, (LRO Division) Standard Condominium Plan No.[Enter plan number]. T/W & S/T as set out in Schedule A of amendment to Declaration (Registration No.)”

    For the purpose of s.22(2)(b), O.Reg. 489/01 an amendment for a phase in the automated system will be recorded against all the units. Any previously registered instruments affecting the property included in the amendment will be recorded against the unit(s) included in the amendment.

    Non-automated System

    For the purpose of s.22(b), O.Reg. 49/01 an amendment for a phase in the non-automated system will be recorded in: 1) the Constitution Index and 2) The Common Elements and General Index followed by any previously registered instruments affecting the property included in the amendment.

    Any easements that merged in law, upon the registration of an amendment for a phase, will be so noted on the Common Elements and General Index.

  5. Leasehold Condominiums

    The declarant in a Leasehold Condominium must own a leasehold interest in the land. A declaration and description may be registered on the leased land, dividing the land into leasehold units and common elements. Purchasers buy a leasehold interest in the unit and common elements for a fixed number of years, as set out in the declaration.

    As the leasehold interest has been transferred to the Leasehold Condominium owners for the term identified in the declaration, no registrations are to be accepted on the underlying leasehold parcel.

    In the automated land titles system the leasehold PIN underlying the condominium will be closed. Any transactions involving any remaining interests on the lessee will be recorded on the freehold PIN where the lease is registered.

V. General Registration Requirements

  1. Amendments to the Declaration or Description – Owners’ Consent – s.107

    Amendments to the declaration and description under s.107 of the Act shall be in Form 1, O.Reg. 49/01. The process for the registration of an amendment to the description is set out in s.18, O.Reg. 49/01.

    Amendments to the description will require the Ontario Land Surveyor to arrange with the Land Registrar or the Assistant Examiner of Surveys to make a copy of the original registered plan sheet(s). The surveyor will alter the copy to illustrate the amendments set out in Form 1. In some cases an additional new plan sheet may also be necessary which will result in amendments to the Index of plan sheets.

    The Certificate of Amendment (Appendix B) shall be included in a conspicuous location adjacent to the original Registration Certificate. The Surveyor’s Certificate for Amendment (Appendix C) shall be included in a conspicuous location adjacent to the amended portion of the plan sheets.

    Automated System

    An amendment is recorded against each unit when the condominium is registered in the automated system. If the amendment adds new units, all previous registered instruments affecting the lands included in the amendment are recorded against the units included in the amendment (s.30, O.Reg. 49/01). If the amendment adds additional lands to the condominium but does not include units, previously registered instruments affecting the lands including the amendment will be recorded against the existing units in the condominium.

    Non-automated System

    When the amendment adds additional lands to the condominium property and the condominium is registered in the non-automated system the amendment is recorded in: 1) the Constitutional Index and 2) the Common Elements and General Index followed by any previously registered instruments affecting the additional lands. (see Appendix F)

  2. Amendments to the Declaration or Description – Order of the Director of Titles

    Under section 110 of the new Act, the condominium corporation or an interested person may apply to the Director of Titles for an Order to amend the declaration or description to correct an error or inconsistency that is apparent on the face of the declaration or description. Applications for an Order under section 110 of the Act are to be sent to the Assistant Examiner of Surveys for the region in which the condominium property is located. An application form is attached as Appendix D. An Order form is attached as Appendix E. The Order will include a statement of who is responsible for carrying out the amendment. The plan correction procedures set out in PART IX of O.Reg. 43/96 will be used if the Order is with respect to an amendment to the description plan sheets.

  3. By-laws

    The Condominium Act, 1998 states that the by-laws and joint by-laws are not effective until registered. To register a by-law or joint by-law it must be attached to a certificate in Form 11, O.Reg. 48/01.

  4. Rules

    As was the case under the old Act, Rules and Joint Rules made by Condominium Corporations to not constitute an instrument acceptable for registration and will not be accepted for registration. If rules are registered as a part of a by-law it should be noted that they become incorporated in the by-law and can only be amended or repealed in accordance with the requirements for by-laws.

  5. Other Instruments

    Appendix F lists where instruments registered, after the initial registration of the declaration and description, are to be recorded in the land registration system.

  6. Enforcing a Judgement against a Condominium Corporation

    Subsection 23(6) of the new Act provides that a judgement against a condominium corporation is also a judgement against each unit owner at the time of the judgement. It should be noted, however, that the Sheriff’s Office cannot enforce a writ of execution against condominium unit owners if their names were not set out in the judgement, unless otherwise specified in an Order of the court.

    To ensure that a writ of execution will bind the land of persons who were the owners at the time of the judgement, it is recommended that the solicitor for the execution ensure that the names of those persons are included in the writ of execution.

  7. Terminations

    Pursuant to s.83(3) of the Registry Act the Land Registrar shall, upon the termination of a freehold condominium or a portion thereof, when the condominium property is under the registry system, open an abstract index for the former condominium lands.

    The procedure for establishing new PINs or parcels for the terminated lands, when the condominium property is in the land titles system, is set out in O.Reg. 49/01.

    Any easement over the condominium lands created after the registration of the declaration and description is extinguished upon termination. (s.127, new Act)

    Bulletins 75022, 79041, 79049, 80027, 80038, 85003, and the portions relating to condominiums in 85005, 827002 are hereby revoked.
