Reserve fund studies for Port Hope condominiums

What the Condominium Act requires, and what it means for a corporation here.

Port Hope, located in Ontario, is a Northumberland town with a small condominium stock, much of it converted heritage property. Close to Cobourg, Newcastle, Bowmanville, it is roughly 110 km from our Vaughan head office. Within a year of registration, every condominium corporation here needs a reserve fund study, updated at least every three years thereafter.

Regardless of a corporation's age, the same three-year cycle applies: a comprehensive Class 1 study to begin, then alternating Class 2 and Class 3 updates. Older properties tend to carry more components nearing the end of their service life, which is the real difference age makes.

Scope is defined by the declaration: what the corporation is responsible for, which isn't the same as everything on the property. Studies can differ sharply between two corporations on the same block, depending on who's responsible for the building envelope.

A licensed Professional Engineer seals every study, which includes a 30-year, three-scenario funding plan and the Notice of Future Funding (Form 15), due to owners within 15 days of the board proposing its plan.
