Owners Association – FAQs

An Owners Association is an organization created by the developer to own, operate, and maintain certain features within the community that were established by the developer and will not maintained by the municipality in the future. These features may include entrance signage, ornamental parks and ponds, enhanced landscaping maintenance, pathway snow removal, fencing upkeep, etc.
Ambleton Owners Association (AOA) was established to maintain the value of community amenities and to ensure a high standard of maintenance of the common spaces, ensuring that Ambleton’s many unique attributes and features will be maintained for many years to come. AOA is an important means of building community pride and unity amongst residents through community beautification, events, and areas. Active involvement in AOA is an excellent way to meet fellow homeowners, and an opportunity to help shape the community’s future through planning and input.
The developer will legally establish an Owners Association early in the planning stages of the community.
Membership is mandatory for all owners within the community of Ambleton and the jurisdiction of AOA. An Encumbrance is registered on the title of every lot in the community of Ambleton.
Owners and residents of Ambleton are members of AOA and will benefit from the Owners Association. All owners and residents in the community will enjoy community features and events. Ongoing attention of these enhancements ensures the value statement created for the project is maintained.
AOA is owned by all property owners within Ambleton; it is governed by a set of Bylaws and a Board of Directors elected annually, at AOA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Qualico Communities Calgary (QCC) will manage, control, and subsidize the AOA, through the majority of votes until the AOA can be self-sustaining and/or the community is nearing full build-out.
At that time, QCC will turn control of the AOA over to the membership. This timeline will be solely at the discretion of QCC. Ultimately, the AOA will be self-funding and managed by an independent third party, who will report to the Resident Directors of the Association.
Yes, like other Owner Associations, the AOA will collect membership fees to operate the Association.
In order to ensure the long term sustainability of the AOA after Qualico Communities Calgary is gone, an encumbrance is registered on every Certificate of Title within the community of Ambleton, protecting the interest of the Association and in turn, the value and integrity of the community for the long-term.
The AOA annual fee is like other Owners Association fees within the City of Calgary who provide similar services and benefit to their membership.
The fiscal year for AOA is January 1 to December 31 every calendar year.
Fee notices will be mailed out annually and fees are levied effective January 1 each year.
Interest charges begin accumulating on overdue accounts as of January 1 of each calendar year, at a rate of 18% per annum, for outstanding balances as of January 31.
Fees for 2022 are $250.00 + GST ($262.50 total) and are subject to change, in accordance with AOA Bylaws.
Upon closing of the initial (new construction) real estate purchase, the encumbrance
fee amount is payable by the buyer in advance (pro-rated from possession date
to year end), in one lump sum. Subsequent encumbrance fees (after the first
year of occupancy) must be paid on an annual basis, as indicated above.
Presently, the AOA can only accept cheques for payment. Please mail your cheque, made payable to:
Ambleton Owners Association
100, 5709 2 Street SE
Calgary, AB T2H 2W4
