Registration of owners' corporation & related fees revised
The fees for the registration of owners' corporations (OCs) and the issuing of certificates of registration of OCs and other related matters will be revised from May 30 with the aim of eventual full recovery of costs in providing the services.
Details of the new fee scale are set out in the Building Management (Fees) (Amendment) Regulation 1997 gazetted today (Friday).
A spokesman for the Home Affairs Branch said the fees under the Regulation were last revised in March 1994 and a recent costing review conducted by the Land Registrar found that the existing fees were substantially below cost.
