Community Title Inspection Report

A community title divides land into:

• lots (of which there must be at least two) and
• common property.

Where the community scheme is not a strata scheme the boundaries of the lots do not relate to a structure, but are defined by surveyed land measurements and are unlimited in height and depth unless otherwise specified. The owner of an individual lot is responsible for the maintenance and insurance of any structure on that lot and has no obligation for maintenance of other lot owner's buildings.

In a community strata scheme the lot boundaries are defined by reference to structures (usually parts of the building), similar to a strata title. The structure itself is common property and it is therefore the responsibility of the corporation to maintain and insure it.
