Fillable Form 184 – Section 184 Certificate (NSW)

The Form 184 – Section 184 Certificate is a mandatory document under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW). It confirms details about a lot’s ownership, encumbrances, and any outstanding levies before a sale or transfer.

What Is Form 184?

Form 184 provides the owners corporation’s certification that:

  • The lot is free from unregistered interests.
  • All levies and charges are up‑to‑date, or any arrears are disclosed.
  • The owners corporation has no pending legal actions affecting the lot.
