Designation of Parking Space – Forms Steps

Parking is a key issue for condominiums. Each new condominium plan must indicate that the developer has designated an appropriate area for at least one parking space for each residential unit.

Parking can be allocated by unit, in which case a separate title is linked to the residential unit title. Parking can also be allocated by space, in which case the allocation will appear as a “parking designation” on the title if the condominium plan was approved and titles were issued after June 16th, 2014. If the plan was approved and titles were issued between 1995 and June 16th, 2014, a parking space designation will appear on the plan. All parking space designations on condominium plans approved before June 16th, 2014 remain valid and new registrations on residential units are not required.

All residential units must allocate parking spaces or units at the time titles are initially set up. If parking spaces are to be used, this must be done by interest registrations in the same packet as initial set ups. Applications must include Form F.1 as prescribed by the Act.

Parking designation can be completed through forms by following the outlined steps.

If you are redesignating a parking space that is currently registered on a condominium plan, a “Parking Designation” interest will first have to be registered on the residential unit title that currently holds the parking space designation. The interest will then have to be amended and attached to the title receiving the benefit of the parking space. For more information, please access our Redesingation of Parking Spaces page.

Step 1: COMPLETING FORM F.1

If the developer wants to designate parking spaces at the time titles are issued, the designations must be in written form and registered on titles. This can be done by completing the Designation of Parking form (Form F.1), which can be found in the regulations pursuant to the Act. The Queen's Printer provides access to all forms under the Act. These forms can be found here.

  • Add in the Residential Unit Number in accordance with the approved plan.
  • Designate the parking space or unit if the condominium development utilizes both types of parking.
  • Allocate parking spaces to each unit (i.e. p 1, p 2)

NOTE: Please include all units and parking space in the prescribed form (F.1).

Step 2: REGISTERING THE INTERESTS ON TITLES

The parking interest designation must be registered against the titles in the same packet as the initial setup of the condominium unit titles raised from the plan.

Here are instructions on how to prepare the interest registration application.

CONVERSION NOTE

In the old paper-based land titles system, parking space designations were recorded on the encumbrance sheet which accompanied the condominium plan. As each district was converted to the new system, the encumbrance sheet was imaged and attached to the Certificate of Title for each unit.

If you are looking for any parking designations that pre-date when a district is converted, these may not available by reviewing the condominium plan or current titles. You must locate and review the former encumbrance sheet. If you require further assistance, please contact our Customer Support Team.

Note that prior to June 16th, 2014 changes in parking space allocations required a plan amendment. This will no longer be necessary unless a parking space allocated to a residential unit is to become common property.
