Every owner is entitled to a copy of the governing documents, sometimes referred to as the declaration, or decs. Components can include CC&Rs, covenants, conditions and restrictions and any amendments thereto; By-Laws, and Board Resolutions.
These documents form the foundation for the private democracy into which you buy when you purchase a condominium.
As a buyer, you could receive a copy from your real estate agent or from the developer if the project is a new project, so you can review them prior to your purchase, or as part of the escrow package you sign for when you close the sale.
If you've lost or misplaced your copy, you can request a copy from your managing agent.
Finally, you can obtain a copy at the local courthouse, department of records where condominium declarations are filed and are available as public record.
If you are a developer and need a set of governing documents, you can hire an attorney to create a set specifically for you and your project. These will be based on your state condominium law.
