What quorums are required for each type of majority in co-ownership?

Each decision at the general assembly requires a specific quorum and majority depending on its nature.

Pro Syndic
Voluntary Syndic
Co-owners
Federal rule — applies throughout Belgium

The Belgian Civil Code provides for several majority levels depending on the importance of the decision.

Simple majority (50% + 1): Routine decisions such as approval of accounts, the budget forecast, routine maintenance and appointment of the syndic.

Two-thirds majority: Works on common areas beyond routine maintenance, modification of internal regulations.

Four-fifths majority: Modification of the base deed, change in the distribution of shares, and sale of a common part.

Unanimity: Change of building purpose and dissolution of the co-ownership. Unanimity requires the consent of all co-owners, not just those present.
