If you own an apartment building (with rented suites) and want to convert it to a condominium (with owned suites), you need a Condominium Conversion Certificate.
Condominium Conversion Certificates are not required for newly built condominiums. Condominium Conversions are subject to the City of Yorkton's Condominium Conversion Policy.
How do I get a Condominium Conversion Certificate?
Step 1: Submit the following information to Planning and Land Use in person or by email:
- Completed Condominium Conversion Application form
- Condominium Plan from a surveyor
- Professional review of the building
Step 2: Pay the application fee
Step 3: Pay the Tenant Consent Survey Fee if required
Step 4: Your application can take several months to go through the Condominium Conversion Process;
Step 5: Approved applications must pay the approval fees based on the number of units.
What if my application is denied?
You can re-apply, but not until 12 months after the date of refusal and with consent of the tenants.
What is the purpose of the Condominium Conversion Certificate?
- To make sure tenants are not caused unnecessary hardship
- To make sure there is enough rental accommodations available for residents
