As part of a greater review of the province's Condominium Property Act, the Redford government is making it mandatory for developers to be more transparent about condo fees.

With some condo buyers expressing concern about higher fees than were initially disclosed, the move will provide buyers with a standardized disclosure package, including an operating budget, at the time of purchase.

In a decision that could affect Alberta homeowners, Service Alberta Minister Manmeet Bhullar provided an update on the province's ongoing condo consultation.

Following a "very successful and engaging" consultation process that gathered more than 5,000 responses, Bhullar said much of the new legislation will come next spring, although progress could be made sooner on the issue of mandatory building assessment reports.
