I settled the sale of my strata unit in March 2021. Am I responsible for a special levy that was due on 1 December 2020? Or is the new owner responsible?
Generally, if a Special Levy is payable within the financial year, the current owner is responsible for it.

If the levy was due on 1 December 2020 in one instalment, the outstanding levy should have been paid by the Vendor.
If there wasn’t a section 110 enquiry made about the levies, the Purchaser could be responsible for the outstanding amount.
There are too many unanswered variables to be able to give a full answer.

Previous experience has been gained whilst I was employed at Landgate for 35 years formerly the old Titles Office. During that period, I was primarily involved with the examination of registration documents, appointed as an Assistant Registrar of Titles, took a keen interest in the Strata Titles Act.
I was involved in various committees when the last changes to the Strata Titles Act were enacted in 1995 and 1996.
After leaving Landgate in 2013 I started working for myself as a Strata Consultant at Strata Title Consult Pty Ltd, providing services relating to the interpretation of strata plans and by-laws, re-subdivisions, mergers and conversions, attending strata meetings and provided assistance in other strata matters.
Recently events have seen me complete an appointment as an Administrator of a strata scheme which started out as a 12 month appointment and was extended for an additional six months. Shane's LinkedIn Profile. Shane is a regular contributor to LookUpStrata.
