BC strata compliance tools

Eleven free tools for the deadlines, thresholds and paperwork BC councils get wrong most often. Every answer carries the section it came from and the date that section was last checked against the official consolidation.

✓ Every live tool cited & dated

AGM / SGM notice calculator SPA ss. 45, 61 Pick your meeting date, get the last legal day to send notice — including the counting rules that turn "2 weeks" into about 20 days. Special levy calculator SPA ss. 99, 108 Split a levy across units by unit entitlement, reconciled to the cent, with the 3/4-vote and unanimous-vote routes explained. Quorum calculator SPA s. 48 How many votes you need present in person or by proxy — plus the adjournment rule when you fall short. Voting threshold checker SPA ss. 1, 71, 96, 108, 128 Nineteen decisions mapped to the vote each one needs — majority, 3/4, 80% or unanimous — with the section for every row. Records request deadline SPA ss. 36, 59 Two weeks for records, one week for bylaws or a Form B. Enter the date the request arrived and get the day you must comply by. Strata fee / budget calculator SPA ss. 99, 100, 246 Split the annual budget across units by unit entitlement — annual and monthly fees per lot, reconciled to the cent. CRF contribution checker SPA s. 93 Is your budgeted contingency reserve fund contribution above the 10% statutory floor — and does a large CRF balance actually change that? Insurance deductible — who pays SPA s. 158 A few branching questions to work out who pays the deductible and how — the corporation, or the owner directly — with the case law behind it. Fine & enforcement procedure SPA s. 135 A step-through check of the complaint, particulars, hearing and decision sequence courts strike fines down over most often. Meeting minutes generator SPA s. 35 Fill in attendance, motions and votes, get back a structured minutes document with the required elements built in and cited. Depreciation report deadline SPA s. 94 The 2024 rules on one page: your due date by region, by five-year renewal, or for a newly formed strata — plus the four-lot exemption and the end of the deferral vote. The BC cheat sheet Free one-pager AGM notice, quorum and special levy apportionment on a single printable page, each with the section it comes from and the trap that catches councils.

Why these carry citations

A compliance answer without its source is just an opinion. Every figure in these tools was read from the official consolidation at bclaws.gov.bc.ca rather than from memory or a summary site, and each page shows the section and the date it was checked. Where the law is genuinely unsettled — the 20-versus-21-day notice count, for instance — the tool says so instead of picking a side quietly.
