FAQschevron down

What is a levy?

A levy is an extra cost imposed to cover a non-budgeted, special and additional extra maintenance costs on the Owners Corporation. A full explanation of the cost and how it was determined is advised at the time of levy.


What fees can the Owners Corporation charge?

An Owners Corporation sets fees to cover general administration and maintenance, insurance and other ongoing costs. An Owners Corporation can also levy special fees or charges to cover extraordinary items of expenditure. If the amount proposed is more than twice the amount of the annual fees, it must be approved by a special resolution (75% agreement of all members). If a member does not pay the fees or levies, the member loses the right to participate in some decisions of Owners Corporation.


When do I pay my fees?

In accordance with Owners Corporation Regulations, an owner is required to contribute to the Owners Corporation, in order to meet expenses involved with the insurances, public lighting, maintenance and repairs to common areas, general administration, etc. Accounts for these contributions are issued prior to the due date. Visit the 'Our Services' page to see how DR Strata Management can assist you to make your payments conveniently.


What are the owners' obligations?

Living in a property which is part of an Owners Corporation can be a wonderful and rewarding lifestyle - and a lifestyle which is the choice for an increasing number of people. The rewards, however, also bring responsibilities as owners must agree to work cooperatively for their common good. Sometimes, if consensus cannot be reached, an individual owner must accept a decision of the Owners Corporation with which they do not personally agree.


How are the Owners Corporation fees calculated?

Owners Corporation contributions to Owners Corporation costs are calculated in accordance with the lot liability as set out by the surveyor of the property when the strata plan was created.


Will our money be safe?

Strata Management Victoria follows industry best practice to ensure your funds are secure.
