The recorded instrument that is sometimes called a Declaration of Condominium is the legal document that actually creates a condominium development under relevant state law.

In Massachusetts it is called a Master Deed. A master deed submits the real property and the buildings to the statutory provisions that govern condominiums, divides a single property into individually owned units, includes restrictions and rules and regulations and provides for ownership of common areas.

No, in New York State, you cannot sell a condo unit without the condo declaration being recorded.

Can a condo unit be sold before a declaration of condominium is filed?

Personally, I would not buy a condominium unless my review of the complete declaration was finished. Otherwise, you (and I) have zero idea about the community you're (I'm) buying into. Whether or not it can be sold may be a local legal issue. See your state condominium statute.

Where can you get a recorded condominium declaration?

Your local hall of land-use records is where condominium declarations are filed and thus recorded: you can get a copy there.

You can expect to pay for all copies you request.


How do you rescind a declaration of condominium?

If you mean you want to neutralize the declaration, this may not be possible except in the case of a disaster: flood, fire, earthquake and so forth that destroys all the real estate assets and makes it uneconomical to repair them.Your governing documents may provide for a dissolution of the association, given a disaster.Otherwise, you can also read there how to modify or amend your declaration and the required number of voting percentages required in order to accomplish this change.Another PerspectiveEvery state has a condominium law. When a condominium is declared its sponsor makes it and its base tract subject to the state condominium law. The provisions for terminating a condominium are set forth in the statute and generally involve the assent by all the owners. In some cases all the units in a failed condominium are acquired by a single owner and that owner can withdraw the property from classification as a condominium. Such projects are converted into rental properties. You need to check the law in your state.


Where do you get a Condominium Declaration?

If you are developing a condominium project, you hire an association-savvy attorney who crafts the governing documents, based on state law that governs condominiums. When you purchase a condominium, by law you are entitled to copies of all your governing documents. (In Washington State, these documents are packaged in the Resale Certificate.) If you own a condominium, and your copies are lost, your association manager can provide you with copies, which you pay for. If you are interested in buying a condominium, again, you can purchase copies of the governing documents, most of which are public record.


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.
