Condominium Property Development
Service New Brunswick
Overview
The Condominium Property Act sets out the rules for operating and managing condominiums in New Brunswick. The Act contains a framework created to better protect consumers during the approval, purchase and sale process for condos.
The Condominium Property Act will make condo development fairer, safer and more in line with other Canadian jurisdictions. Increased transparency throughout the purchase and sale process will balance the responsibilities of developers with the rights of consumers. The Act is also designed to provide the essential tools for a Condominium Corporation to successfully administer a condominium.
Eligibility
