In Jamaica they Prosecute Strata Corporations


Maybe you didn’t realise (or think) that they have strata title in Jamaica.  But they do and have had since 1969 when the Registrations (Strata Titles) Act was introduced.

In 2009 an Amendment Act was also introduced that, amongst other things, required the existing and new Jamaican strata corporations to register with the Commission of Strata Corporations by the end of 2010 or within 90 days of becoming a body corporate and pay the $500 fee.

But by the start of 2011 only 994 of the 1532 strata corporations in Jamaica had registered.


So, there’s a crackdown underway and they’re being prosecuted for not being registered.  A final appeal was made in January for delinquent strata corporations to come in form the cold, register and make payments before January 28.

It’s an interesting idea to get strata corporations registered that might be worth considering here in Australia.

And, you can find out more about Jamaican strata titles at the Commission of Strata Titles website.
