Condominium management in Portugal

The condominium, up to date. And the legal deadlines with it.

Quotas — the owners' monthly contributions — payments, minutes and requests in one place, and a visible clock on every duty that Portugal's 2022 condominium reform placed on the administrator. A unit has been sold? That is ten days to issue the statement of debts, counted the way the law counts them.

  • Deadlines counted in calendar days, Sundays and public holidays included
  • Statement of debts issued as a PDF, with the figures frozen
  • Quotas, collections and the owner portal included

What the law now asks of you

Four duties with a deadline. Every one of them on a clock.

Portugal's 2022 condominium reform, Lei n.º 8/2022, put dates on the administrator's work. CondOnline counts them, shows what is outstanding and keeps the record. We do not give legal advice — we give you the deadline and the evidence.

Sale of a unit

The statement of debts, in ten days

Log the request and the clock starts, in calendar days and with the national public holidays. The PDF sets out what the unit owes — or states plainly that it owes nothing — and that day's figures are frozen.

Arrears

Knowing when the ninety days begin

Once a debt reaches the IAS — Portugal's social-support index, €537.13 in 2026 — the duty to act acquires a date. See which units crossed it, how long ago, how many days are left and an estimate of statutory interest.

Owners' meetings

Convening with the right ten days

It works out the last lawful date and tells you whether you are still in time, before you prepare the notice. It records, owner by owner, email consent with the minutes that granted it, and the receipts still outstanding.

Reserve fund

Ten per cent as a floor, not a suggestion

The statutory minimum is a floor, not a field you can set to zero. The separate deposit is recorded with institution and reference, and compliance with the law is reported apart from budget coverage.

Collections and payments

  • Generate payment links per unit and per charge, and share them with the owner.
  • Offer simple options: MB WAY, Multibanco entity and reference, card, Apple Pay and Google Pay where the device supports them.
  • Track payments, arrears and notices in the same process.

Quotas and the manager's routine

  • Update quotas, units, owners and contacts without external spreadsheets.
  • Log manual payments and keep a clear picture of what is up to date.
  • Work in a dashboard that shows the condominium's real next step.

Meetings, minutes and requests

  • Receive requests from owners and decide what goes to the owners' general meeting.
  • Keep meeting notices, attendance, resolutions, proxies and minutes in order.
  • Prepare the minutes from what was recorded during the meeting.

Records and handover

  • Upload earlier paperwork: minutes, quota records, receipts and contracts.
  • Bring the history together in a clear records binder for the handover.
  • Hand the condominium to the next manager with fewer open questions.

Financial transparency

  • Give each owner access to their own quotas, minutes and documents.
  • Review cash flow, the legally required reserve fund and movements by period.
  • Managers and owners see the same information.

Getting started and continuity

  • Set up a new condominium with its basic data, units and owners in one place.
  • Prepare the handover with fewer phone calls and fewer missing files.
  • The next manager sees straight away what is settled and what is still to collect.

How to start

Three steps until the dashboard works for you.

Creating an account is free and needs no card. From there, the dashboard always tells you the condominium's next step.

  1. Register the building and its units — that is what lets the dashboard know what to ask you for.
  2. Issue the quotas: arrears then appear on the map by themselves, with the legal context beside them.
  3. Connect the payout account when you want to collect online. Until then, record payments by hand.

Frequently asked questions

Clear up the questions before you start.

How much does CondOnline cost?

The Free plan costs €0 and covers putting the condominium, its units and its owners on record, and receiving requests from them. Pro costs €10 a month per account, VAT included — not per unit — and the subscription is available: activate it under Account, inside the dashboard.

How do I cancel the Pro subscription?

The subscription is monthly and renews automatically until it is cancelled. You can cancel it at any time under Account, from the button that opens the billing portal, without having to contact us. After cancelling there are no further charges and the service stays available until the end of the period already paid for, on the date shown under “Next charge”; from then on the account returns to the free plan, and the data you stored is not deleted.

Can I change my mind after subscribing?

Yes. If you contract as a consumer you have 14 days from the day the contract was concluded to withdraw without giving a reason, under Article 10(1)(a) of Decree-Law 24/2014 of 14 February. When you subscribe we ask you to expressly request that the service begin during those 14 days; if you do and then withdraw, you pay only the part in proportion to what was actually supplied. To withdraw, write to the support address shown in the footer with the subject “Livre resolução”. The details are in the Terms.

Does CondOnline handle the duties under Lei n.º 8/2022?

It handles the deadline and the record for four of them: the statement of debts when a unit is sold (art. 1424.º-A of the Civil Code), the duty to act once a unit's debt reaches the IAS (art. 6.º of DL 268/94), convening a meeting with ten days' notice (art. 1432.º) and the 10% minimum of the common reserve fund (art. 4.º of DL 268/94). We count the deadlines on the Portuguese calendar, show what is still outstanding and keep the record. The decision, and the responsibility, remain the administrator's.

Does CondOnline send the notice of meeting to the owners?

No. CondOnline works out the last lawful date, prepares the notice as a PDF with the agenda, and records who consented to be convened by email and who has already confirmed receipt. You send it, through whichever channel you choose. Without a confirmation of receipt, email does not count as valid service of the notice, and registered post remains the safe route.

How do owners pay?

Each owner receives a payment link and chooses MB WAY, Multibanco entity and reference, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay where the device supports it. The money goes to the manager's account through Stripe Connect.

Can I bring the condominium's history with me?

Yes. You can upload minutes, receipts, contracts and other earlier paperwork, and bring it all together in a tidy records binder for reference or for the handover.

Do owners need to install an app?

No. The owner portal runs in the browser, on any device, with an account protected by a password.

Does CondOnline give legal advice?

No. The platform counts deadlines, provides configurable templates and a guide with links to official sources, but it does not replace legal, tax or accounting advice. Where the reading of the law is genuinely open, we say which one we follow rather than presenting it as settled.
