Depending on the state where you live, there are official documents that must be prepared and presented to the association from the developer at the end of the 'declarant control period'.

As well, the public offering statement given to each buyer of a new unit by the developer clearly spells out the several scenarios that can mark the end of the period. It may be some number of years after the first sale; some number of years without adding new units and so forth.

Primarily, it is imperative that the developer turn over plans, warranties, designs, and so forth, to the association, so the association can maintain its real estate assets.

This is an official step that is best taken with the guidance and leadership of counsel.
