Notice period for the owners' meeting in Colombia

Short answer

The administrator calls the yearly (ordinary) assembly with at least 15 calendar days' notice. The notice goes to each owner at the last address registered, and it must list the owners who owe contributions to the common expenses.

What the law says

Original wording of the law (Spanish). The summary and the notes around it are ours.

La convocatoria la efectuará el administrador, con una antelación no inferior a quince (15) días calendario.

What this means in practice

The 15 days are stated for the ordinary assembly only and should not be applied to extraordinary ones. An extraordinary assembly can be called by the administrator, the council, the fiscal auditor, or owners holding at least one fifth of the coefficients, and the notice must carry the agenda. The law does not name the channel (e-mail, post, app); it says the notice is sent to the last registered address. If nobody calls the assembly, it meets by its own right on the first working day of the fourth month after the budget period ends.

General information, not legal advice. Check with a lawyer in Colombia before relying on it, and read your building's own documents: they can change how a rule applies.

Where Unitify fits

Unitify sends announcements and meeting notices to residents and keeps a record of what went out and when. Whether a notice is valid, in its channel, deadline and content, depends on the law above and on your own rules. Unitify does not make a notice valid.
