To create a bare land condominium, contact subdivisions@edmonton.ca for application information.

The Condominium Property Act, RSA 2000 provides an opportunity for landowners to convert existing buildings into condominiums. The act requires the City's approval prior to registration of such conversions.

Plan Review

Condominium Conversion applications are subject to the Condominium Property Act and Condominium Property Regulation (Alberta Regulation 168/2000), each application must be reviewed and consent granted by the Subdivision Authority and Office of the City Clerk.  Prior to consent an Alberta Land Surveyor submits the condominium plan to the Subdivision Authority for review.

The review consists of reviewing the Condominium Plan to ensure the plan matches the approved development permit and related plans. For re-divisions of existing condominiums, the proposed revisions to the condominium plan must match the approved development and building permits and related plans.

Following the review the Subdivision Authority signs the Condominium Consent Form followed by the Office of the City Clerk signature. Once this is complete, the Alberta Land Surveyor will receive the signed document and may proceed to register the Condominium Conversion Plan through the Alberta Land Titles Office.

Fees are charged for this service, the fees are based upon the current year’s fee schedule.

The review process will normally take approximately two weeks.
