Questions & Answers about La derrama cubre la reparación del inmueble.

What does derrama mean here?

In this sentence, derrama means a special assessment or extra charge collected from owners, usually in a building or homeowners’ community in Spain, to pay for an unexpected or major expense.

So this is not an ordinary monthly fee like la cuota de comunidad. A derrama is typically an additional payment requested for something specific, such as repairs, façade work, lift maintenance, or roof problems.

In other contexts, derrama can come from the idea of spilling or distribution, but in Spain this property-related meaning is very common.

Why is it la derrama? Is derrama feminine?

Yes. Derrama is a feminine noun, so it takes la:

• la derrama
• una derrama

That is simply the grammatical gender of the noun. It does not imply anything special beyond normal noun gender agreement.
