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.

Can you sell a condo unit in NYS without condo declaration being recorded?

No. The recording of the declaration of condominium creates the condominium under state laws. A condominium is a creation of law. If no condominium is created then no units can be sold. Condominium declarations are recorded in the land records office where the land is located. Once the condominium has been submitted to the provisions of state condominium law by the recording of the declaration in the land records, the developer can sell condominium units.

What are the key differences in obtaining a mortgage for a condo versus a townhouse?

The key differences in obtaining a mortgage for a condo versus a townhouse are related to ownership structure and property type. Condos are typically part of a larger building or complex with shared amenities, while townhouses are standalone units with individual ownership of both the unit and the land it sits on. Lenders may have different requirements and considerations for each type of property, such as the condo association's financial health and rules for condos, and the maintenance responsibilities for townhouses.

When all properties are sold in a condo complex is a declaration necessary?

A declaration is necessary in order to sell units in a condominium project. The declaration is a land-use document filed in the local land-use hall of records. It also represents the 'constitution' for community governance, and to modify it usually requires a majority -- sometimes an uber majority of owners' votes in favour of any amendment. A condominium association without a declaration is lawless, by definition.
