How are lots counted for pricing?

Getting lot count right matters because it's the only variable in Flex Strata's pricing beyond the flat monthly base.

What counts as a lot

Lot count is based on the lots registered on your building's strata plan — residential and commercial units, and any other lots your plan defines, are generally counted the same way. Common property and utility lots that don't function as separately tradeable units aren't typically counted, but confirm your building's specific plan against what's entered during setup if you're unsure.

Where lot count is set

Lot count is entered as part of the setup wizard when you configure your building's details, and it's what the pricing calculation runs against — the included lots sit inside the monthly base fee, with each pricing band applying to lots above that threshold.

If your lot count changes

Buildings occasionally have their lot count change — a subdivision, a lot amalgamation, or a strata plan amendment. If that happens, update the building's lot count in the setup so pricing reflects the current plan.

Getting it wrong

If lot count is understated, pricing won't reflect the correct band — worth getting right from the outset rather than adjusting later. If you're not sure how many lots are on your strata plan, your title search, strata plan, or your outgoing manager's records will confirm it.

A note on price bands

The pricing bands are cumulative — moving into a higher band doesn't reprice lots that already sit in a lower band. A larger building is charged the base fee for the included lots, then each band's rate only for the lots that fall inside that band.
