Deemed receipt calculator
Pick the date your condo corporation sent the fine letter and how it was delivered. The calculator returns the date you're deemed to have received it under Alberta's Condominium Property Regulation, plus the earliest reasonable response deadline that flows from that.
Use the date stamp on the letter, not the date you received it.
Why this matters
Many Alberta fine notices set a response deadline by counting from the date the letter is dated, not the date you're deemed to have received it. That cuts days off your response window — and missing the window is a real form of prejudice under the CDRT's substantial-compliance + prejudice test.
If the deadline in your letter is shorter than the calculator says it should be, that's a substantive procedural issue worth raising in a written response — or at the CDRT if the corporation won't budge.
The rules behind the math
- Email: deemed received 24 hours after sent.
- Recorded / registered mail: deemed received 2 calendar days after sending.
- Ordinary mail: deemed received 7 calendar days after sending.
- Personal service: deemed received the same day.
These rules are set in Alberta's Condominium Property Regulation. The response window itself isn't fixed by statute — a reasonable minimum is 10 calendar days from deemed receipt, which is the practical floor most boards aim for and the Tribunal would generally expect.
