Questions
Common questions
How much does strata management cost in BC?
Commonly $15–$30 per unit per month, varying by building size, services, and complexity. It's quoted by proposal, so treat any figure as a range until you compare real quotes.
When does it make sense to hire a firm?
Often once council time, turnover, and liability outweigh the fee — frequently around the point where the building is too large or busy for volunteers to keep up.
What isn't in this number?
One-off costs like transition and legal work, and the continuity and liability risk a firm absorbs. Treat the comparison as a starting point, not a quote.
