Common Questions
Strata Law FAQs
What is a strata title in Belize?
A strata title is a form of ownership used for multi-unit developments such as condominiums. Each owner holds title to their individual unit (the "strata lot") and shares ownership of common areas with other unit owners through a strata corporation.
Is strata ownership common on Ambergris Caye?
Yes. The majority of condominium and resort-style developments on Ambergris Caye are registered as strata properties. Understanding strata law is essential for any condo buyer in Belize.
What does a strata corporation do?
A strata corporation manages the common areas of a strata development, collects strata fees, enforces by-laws, and makes decisions about the shared property on behalf of all unit owners.
