Governing DocumentsCondominium Plan
Section § 4285
When creating a condominium plan, it must have three main parts: a map or survey that shows the layout and ground markers; a detailed 3D description that clearly identifies shared areas and individual units; and a signed certificate allowing the plan to be officially recorded according to specific rules.
Section § 4290
This section outlines who needs to sign a certificate to approve recording a condominium plan. First, it requires signatures from the property's fee title owner. Second, if the condo ends when a lease expires, both lessors and lessees must sign. Third, for condos with life estates, both life tenants and those with future interests need to sign. Fourth, any trustees or beneficiaries of deeds of trust, plus mortgagees, must also provide signatures. However, if rights like mineral rights or easements don't involve possessing the property, those holders don't need to sign. If a conversion to condos has been approved under specific rules, only those approving need to sign.
Section § 4295
If a group wants to make changes to or cancel a condominium plan, every person who needs to sign, as per a related rule, must sign off on the change or cancellation. This has to be officially recorded and acknowledged.
