Strata Plans
In Tasmania, strata plans are essential for the development and management of strata developments. These plans are registered with the Recorder of Titles, who is responsible for maintaining the register of land titles and determining strata disputes.
The Strata Titles Act 1998 regulates the registration of strata plans and the operation of strata bodies corporate.
Strata plans are subject to various regulations, including insurance, unit entitlements, and bylaws.
For more detailed information, including forms and fees contact: Recorder of Titles or Land Titles Office here.
