A: No,
to control access this exclusive gated community is being
organized as a Vacant Land Condominium
Q: Do we own the
land that our homes are on?
A: Yes,
just like any other subdivision you own the land that your
home sits on. The roads and other amenities such as recreation
facilities are controlled by the condominium corporation.
Since the residents own the roads and amenities the development
can have controlled access (gated) allowing for greater
control and security.
Q: How is the condominium
run?
A: A board
of directors, elected by the owners, runs the condominium
corporation. The board’s function is to manage the
corporation. Major decisions are voted on at owners’
meetings. Annual general meetings must be held within six
months of the condo corporation’s fiscal year to ensure
that unit-holders have an opportunity to review the financial
statements in a timely manner. Participation in community
decision-making is a benefit of condominium living.
Q: What are the
rules and regulations of the condominium corporation?
A: The
developer must provide a table of contents as part of the
disclosure statement. The table of contents will help the
purchaser find information quickly and easily in the declaration,
bylaws, rules or disclosure statement about such things
as building restrictions and any restrictions on pets.
