sectional title plan

A registered land surveyor must draw up a sectional title plan for any new sectional title development. The sectional title plan then gets submitted to the Surveyor General, for his/her approval. The sectional title plan gets registered in the deeds registry, as an important part of the title deeds for the sections in a sectional title scheme.

The sectional title plan contains a scale plan of the sections in the sectional title development scheme, the allocation of common property, servitudes that apply to the land, and exclusive use areas created in terms of section 27 of the new Sectional Title Act.

Each sectional title scheme in South Africa has a set of sectional title plans registered in the deeds registry. Each sectional title plan is allocated a registration number, which indicates when the sectional title scheme was registered. SS 17/2001 is an example of such a sectional title plan number, and it indicates that the sectional title plan was the 17th sectional title scheme registered in 2003 (in the regional department of the deeds registry).

The sectional title plans for a sectional title scheme can be obtained from the Surveyor General's office. The trustees of a sectional title scheme also have a responsibility to have the sectional title plans for the sectional title scheme available for inspection or reproduction by members of the body corporate or their bondholders.
