How Condominium Parking Stalls Are Owned / Allotted

Condominium parking stalls are allotted or owned in several ways. Depending on how they are owned, condominium real estate purchase contracts have to be drafted specifically to they type of ownership. Furthermore, Condominium buyers must also understand the type of ownership that they have of the condominium parking stall.

Condominium Titled Parking

Condominium titled parking gives actual legal ownership to the buyer. These titles condo parking stalls have their own legal description. Because these parking stalls have their own condo title, they also will have a separate tax account with the city or municipality. In cities such as Calgary, you can set up monthly payments for these condominium parking stalls. Separate legal condo titles can be for both underground or above ground parking. When buying a condominium it is important that the proper legal title is added to the condominium purchase contract.

Condo Assigned Parking

Some condominiums have assigned parking. This means that the condo board or condo management company assigns each parking stall to a particular owner. In some cases the same stall is always assigned to the same condominium unit. In other condominium buildings, when a property is sold, there is a reassignment of the parking stall. This most often happens when some condominium parking stalls are perceived as better than others. It should be noted that a condo board that has one of these two systems in place, may be able to change the system in the future. Your condominium parking stall lawyer can help you understand your assignment of parking stall better.

Condominium Leased Parking

In other condominium projects, condo parking stalls are leased to a particular unit. Unlike assigned parking stalls these leased condo parking stalls are leased via long term leases. this means that the same stall should always transfer with the same condo unit. On occasion, leased stalls are for general parking spots, not a specific stall. Your condominium parking stall lawyer can help understand this better.

Condo Rented Parking

Rented parking stalls are stalls that are assigned to a specific unit but they are paid for on a monthly basis. This rental rate is on top of regular condo fees. When a property is sold, these types of parking stalls may not continue with that unit. In many cases a rented condo parking stall is then offered to the next person on a wait list who wants an additional (or that) parking stall.

No Parking or No Assigned Parking

This is often considered the least desirable parking situations. Some condo projects have no parking at all and owners must rely on street parking. Alternatively, some condo projects have parking lot or parkade but parking is on “a first come first serve” basis. This is often the case if there are not enough parking stalls for each unit.

Condo Rules and Titled Parking Transfers or Sales

Each condo board has its own set of rules with respect to the condominium parking titles. Your condominium parking stall lawyer must check these rules before you sell your condo parking stall. In some condominiums, a parking stall cannot be sold separately from the titles condo unit. Comparatively, in some condominiums, it is OK as long as there is at least one parking stall with each unit. In still others, there is no restriction. Where the potential restrictions on transferring condo parking stalls are listed vary. The condominium bylaws may have these restrictions. In some cases, the restriction on parking stalls sales and transfers is listed on title itself as a restrictive covenant or a caveat.
