Ontario Condo Parking Lot Maintenance: A Board Member's Guide

Why this matters for condo boards

Asphalt is one of the largest depreciating assets a condo corporation owns. A neglected lot can need full repaving in 8–12 years instead of 20+. Proper maintenance is the cheapest reserve fund decision a board can make.

The right maintenance cycle for condo lots

• Year 1 (post-paving): don't seal — let asphalt cure
• Years 2–3: first sealcoat + crack fill + restripe
• Every 2–3 years after: re-seal + crack fill
• Every 5–6 years: full restripe with refreshed accessibility markings
• Annual: pothole patching as needed

Cost benchmarks (Ontario, 2026)

• Sealcoat: $0.18–$0.30/sq ft
• Hot rubber crack fill: priced per linear foot
• Line painting: $8–$15 per stall (plus arrows / accessibility / fire route)
• Pothole patching: priced per patch
