Not every building shown is a verified condominium. Use verification filters to separate confirmed condo profiles from candidate building records.

Direct Answer

This glossary defines the language Condobuildings.ca uses so users can tell the difference between an official footprint, a candidate record and a verified condo profile.

How This Page Helps

Official footprintA building geometry or source record imported from an official/open source. It does not verify condominium status.
Multi-unit candidateA source-backed signal that a building may be multi-unit residential and worth review.
Condo candidateA stronger candidate label that still needs condo-specific source evidence before it becomes verified.
Verified condo buildingA profile with acceptable source-backed evidence that the building is a condominium or strata/co-ownership building.
Source conflictTwo or more sources disagree or identity resolution is unclear, so the profile needs review.

Operating Principle

Precise vocabulary is part of the trust layer.

Unknown fields stay labelled as not verified yet, source needed or pending verification. Users should confirm building-specific information independently before decisions.
