Submit revised condominium corporation by-laws to the Registrar of Condominiums (Form 15)
Condominium corporations use Form 15 to submit revised by-laws to the Registrar of Condominiums for review.

The condominium corporation needs to draft proposed changes to the initial condominium corporation by-laws created by the developer.
Members of the condominium corporation (unit owners) who own at least 60% of the common elements need to vote in favour of the proposed by-law changes before the condominium corporation can submit the changes with the Registrar of Condominiums.
