What the report tells you
What a depreciation report costs, and why every strata now has one
It is now required, with a deadline
Every BC strata with five or more lots must hold a current depreciation report. In Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Capital Regional District the deadline is July 1, 2026; elsewhere in the province it is July 1, 2027. Stratas can no longer vote each year to skip it.
It is updated every five years
A report from 2021 is due again now.
It costs the strata thousands
Usually between $5,000 and $30,000, paid by the strata.
Only six kinds of professional may write one
Since July 1, 2025, it must be written by an engineer, architect, applied science technologist, accredited appraiser, certified reserve planner or quantity surveyor.
Requirements and dates verified against gov.bc.ca on 2026-07-24. Whether a specific strata is caught by the deadline is set by the Strata Property Act. Nothing here is legal advice.
