Levies: reimagined
Hassle free + value-adding
Turn a pain point into a value-add. Draft one-off or recurring levies, model different options, submit them for approval with plenty of context. Manage arrears and payment plans with ease.
An unlovable task made loveable
From modelling options, getting approvals, to tracking payments: levies can be complicated. Luckily for you, OurCommons isn't.
Let us help you nail it
Asking for more owner funds is always difficult. Doing it the right way is absolutely critical. It's not just getting the math right, having the comms land properly, and staying across payments and arrears: it's about ensuring your owners understand the full picture before they vote and are given time and information to prepare. It's quite the juggle; but OurCommons helps you do it all.
- Set up your unit entitlements when onboarding; our platform does the math for voting and for levies.
- Draft one-off or recurring levies, model and experiment with the financial impacts on your owners with duration and amounts, and submit them for required approvals when ready.
- Understand the true impact of proposed levy structures and experiment with various options to show your owners you've given this important matter the right forethought.

Keep your owners in the loop; no ugly surprises
When a levy increase is heading to an AGM, owners don't want to find out just beforehand. OurCommons helps you bring them along the journey, giving you per-lot impacts for both Admin and Capital Works levies, the budget line items driving any increase and related changes to the capital works plan. With our platform, you'll be equipped with all the information you need well ahead of time.
- Upcoming levies are clearly split between locked-in (pre-AGM) and subject-to-approval (post-AGM) instalments so everyone knows what to expect and when to expect it.
- When your owners see their notice, it's not just an invoice; they see exactly what they're paying for and why; couple with the Capital Works module for maximum transparency.
- Ensure your owners understand the full picture before they vote and are given the advance notice to prepare.

Stay across payments and arrears
Once approved, issue levy notices with one click to all owners. Track payments, surface overdue items, and send follow-ups through the channels you configure.
- Payment plans can be requested, reviewed, approved and tracked on the platform. Monitor of agreed payment terms and progressive clearing of arrears.
- Overdue items are surfaced the moment they appear so you can take prompt action, but keep recovery efforts at your discretion.
- Payments are matched to receipts automatically to avoid digging up old notices and receipts.
