The answer
The answer depends on the assessment details, due dates, purchase contract, negotiations, closing adjustments, and legal advice. Do not rely on a verbal promise. Obtain the written assessment, payment schedule, minutes, project evidence, corporation records, and contract language, then assign responsibility explicitly before conditions are removed or closing funds are committed.
Calgary-specific context
An announced assessment, a project discussed only in minutes, and weak reserve funding without a formal levy create different evidence and negotiation problems.
What to do next
Put the assessment amount, due dates, payment status, project, contract treatment, reserve effect, and lawyer questions into the offer and closing review.

Research the condo building and corporation.
Compare the actual corporation's documents, insurance, reserve study and upcoming work. A building profile, low fee or newer completion year does not establish financial health.
