Duties a Condo Board should not Delegate

September 2017

Your board of directors retains ultimate responsibility over everything that happens in your condominium corporation.  While many tasks are delegated to a condominium manager or management company, some tasks are too important or hold too much risk to be delegated.  These include:

  • Responsibilities identified in governing documents – declaration and bylaws – such as establishing policies and procedures or adoption of rules
  • Supervising of the annual audit of financial records
  • Supervising the Reserve Fund Study
  • Signing of cheques over a specified amount or exceeding budget limits
  • Waiving of fees or rules for any condo resident or owner
  • Final approval over renovations, major purchases or construction projects
  • Termination and hiring of vendors and contract approvals
  • Insurance for the condominium corporation
  • Beginning the condo lien process
  • Anything not stated in the condominium management job description or contract
