Strata Property Act forms: a guide to Forms A through Z.1
Realtors ask for a Form B and a Form F, landlords need a Form K, and the lawyer filing your new bylaws wants a Form I. The forms are set out in the Strata Property Regulation, and each has a specific job.
Last reviewed November 10, 2026, against the current Strata Property Act, Strata Property Regulation and Standard Bylaws on BC Laws.
The short answer
The Strata Property Regulation prescribes forms lettered A to Z.1. The ones councils and owners use most are Form A (proxy), Form B (Information Certificate, within one week), Form F (Certificate of Payment, within one week), Form G and Form H (lien and its release), Form I (Amendment to Bylaws) and Form K (Notice of Tenant's Responsibilities). Most of the rest are used by developers and surveyors when a strata plan is created.
The forms used in everyday strata life
| Form | Name | Used for | Section |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Proxy Appointment (optional form) | Appointing someone to vote for you at a general meeting | 56 |
| B | Information Certificate | Disclosure to an owner or buyer about the strata and the lot | 59 |
| C | Mortgagee's Request for Notification | A lender asking to receive meeting notices and arrears notices | 60 |
| D | Strata Corporation Change of Mailing Address | Updating the strata's address at the Land Title Office | 62 |
| E | Certificate of Strata Corporation | Certifying that a required resolution was passed, for Land Title Office filings | Various |
| F | Certificate of Payment | Confirming no money is owing, needed to transfer a lot | 115 |
| G | Certificate of Lien | Registering a lien for unpaid fees or levies | 116 |
| H | Acknowledgement of Payment | Releasing a lien after payment | 116 |
| I | Amendment to Bylaws | Filing a bylaw amendment | 128 |
| K | Notice of Tenant's Responsibilities | Given to tenants by landlords | 146 |
Form J, the old Rental Disclosure Statement, has been repealed.
Form A: proxy
A proxy appointment must be in writing and signed by the person appointing the proxy. It may be general, or for a specific meeting or resolution, and may be revoked at any time (section 56). Form A is labelled optional: another document that meets those requirements is valid. Stratas usually include a proxy form with the notice of meeting. See proxy voting.
StrataMinutes can take this off your plate. Most disputes are decided on the written record. Score your minutes with a free report card, or have them prepared for you.
Form B: Information Certificate
The strata must give a Form B within one week of a request by an owner, a purchaser, or a person they authorize. It discloses fees, money owing, approved levies, the reserve balance, pending resolutions, legal proceedings, work orders, parking and storage allocations and insurance, with the rules, current budget and most recent depreciation report attached. The maximum fee is $35 plus copying at up to 25 cents a page. Its contents bind the strata toward someone who reasonably relied on it. See Form B.
Form F: Certificate of Payment
Within one week of a request by an owner or purchaser, the strata must issue a Form F if the owner owes nothing, or if money owing has been paid into trust or satisfactory arrangements have been made. It is needed to register a transfer of the strata lot and is current for 60 days. The maximum fee is $15. See Form F.
Forms G and H: liens
A Certificate of Lien (Form G) is registered at the Land Title Office when an owner has not paid strata fees, a special levy or certain other amounts, after two weeks' written demand. Once the amount is paid, the strata must register an Acknowledgement of Payment (Form H) within one week. See strata liens.
Form I: Amendment to Bylaws
After a bylaw amendment is approved by the required vote, the strata files a Form I setting out the amendment. Until it is filed, the amendment has no effect (section 128). See how to amend bylaws.
Form E: Certificate of Strata Corporation
Several kinds of resolution must be filed at the Land Title Office with a certificate that they were properly passed: acquiring or disposing of land, changing the fee formula by unanimous vote, strata plan amendments, changes to unit entitlement, amalgamation and winding up. Form E is that certificate. Your lawyer will prepare it from the minutes of the meeting, which is one reason those minutes must state the resolution and the count exactly.
Form K: Notice of Tenant's Responsibilities
A landlord gives the tenant the bylaws, rules and a Form K before renting, and gives the strata a signed copy within two weeks. See Form K.
The remaining forms
| Form | Name | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| L, M, N | Notice Beginning Arbitration, Notice of Reply, Notice Responding to Reply | Parties to an arbitration under Part 10 |
| O | Leasehold Strata Plan Schedules | Leasehold stratas |
| P | Phased Strata Plan Declaration | Developers of phased stratas |

| V | Schedule of Unit Entitlement | Filed with the strata plan |
| W | Schedule of Voting Rights | Filed where lots have different votes |
| X | Strata Corporation Mailing Address | Filed with the strata plan |
| Y | Owner Developers' Notice of Different Bylaws | Filed when the developer's bylaws differ from the Standard Bylaws |

Owners most often meet Form V when checking their share of fees, and Form Y when looking for a new building's original bylaws.
Where to get the forms
The prescribed wording is in the Strata Property Regulation on BC Laws, and the provincial government's strata housing pages provide fillable copies of the common ones. Use the current version: forms have been amended over the years, including the Form B. Land Title Office filings are made electronically, usually through a lawyer, notary or strata manager.
Things that have no prescribed form
Meeting notices, agendas, minutes, hearing requests, bylaw complaint letters, records requests, section 41 and 44 waivers, and the 20% demand for a special general meeting have no prescribed form. The Act says what they must contain, and the wording is yours. Our guides cover each, with sample wording, and members have access to our hearing and enforcement templates and the minutes template.
Questions councils and owners ask
