Explanation

The Declaration of Condominium (recorded in the county's public records) is the foundational document that creates the condominium. It defines individual units, common elements (shared by all), and limited common elements (reserved for specific unit owners). The Declaration is like the condominium's 'constitution.' The By-Laws govern the association's operations.
