Future rule change: paper prints of architectural and structural plans will no longer be required for condo registration
DESCRIPTION AND REGISTRATION — under the Condominium Act, 1998
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
A set of amendments scheduled to take effect at the end of 2026 will remove the requirement to submit and retain paper prints of architectural and structural plans when registering a condominium description or a phased addition. Under the current rules, applicants must deliver physical paper-print sets to the land registrar and examiner; after the change, any format of the plans (not just paper prints) will satisfy the requirement. Related wording that cross-references how a corporation's number appears on plan sheets will also be simplified. Condominium developers, surveyors, and legal professionals who prepare or review registration packages should update their checklists and workflows before the change takes effect.
