Alberta Bill 30 Explained: Key Impacts on Condo Boards in 2025

SHARE

In December 2024, Alberta introduced significant legislative changes under Bill 30  – the Service Alberta Statutes Amendment Act, 2024. These reforms aim to enhance governance within condominium corporations and streamline construction processes. For condo boards in Calgary and across Alberta, understanding these updates is crucial to ensure compliance and effective management.  

Key Changes for Condo Boards

  1. Enhanced Governance and Transparency

Bill 30 mandates that condominium corporations provide more comprehensive information to unit owners and prospective buyers. This includes detailed financial statements, meeting minutes, and bylaws. Such transparency fosters trust and informed decision-making within the community.  

  1. Streamlined Dispute Resolution

The legislation introduces simplified procedures for resolving disputes between condo owners and boards. By reducing the complexity and cost of legal processes, Bill 30 encourages quicker and more amicable resolutions. 

  1. Strengthened Construction and Warranty Protections

Bill 30 enhances protections for condominium owners regarding construction defects and warranty claims. Developers are now required to provide more detailed information to the first elected condominium board, ensuring a smoother transition for owners. 

Practical Steps for Condo Boards

  1. Review and Update Bylaws

Ensure that your condominium’s bylaws align with the new legislative requirements. This may involve updating procedures for meetings, voting, and dispute resolution to comply with the latest standards.  

  1. Enhance Communication with Owners

Implement regular communication strategies to keep unit owners informed about changes and developments within the corporation. Utilize newsletters, emails, and community meetings to disseminate information effectively. 

  1. Educate Board Members

Conduct training sessions for board members to familiarize them with the new legislation and its implications. This ensures that all members are equipped to make informed decisions and uphold the corporation’s responsibilities.
