Declaration, Bylaws, Rules

DESCRIPTION OF DOCUMENTS:

The Condo Association's Declaration of Condominium is a 151-page document originally created by the developer that consists of the declaration and five exhibits. Due to the length of the document and size of the file, the declaration is split here into the following five parts (searchable PDF files). When you open the document, you may search for keywords by entering the terms you are looking for in the "search" bar of your Adobe Reader software.

  1. DECLARATION Part 1 covers definitions and provisions for property development; common property; voting interests; association description; insurance requirements; the amendment process and other matters.
  2. DECLARATION Part 2 covers provisions for occupancy and use restrictions including lease and deposit requirements for rentals; parking; maintenance, repair and alterations; assessments; common expenses; wildlife information and other matters.
  3. DECLARATION Part 3 provides legal descriptions of the property; surveys; and plot plans.
  4. ARTICLES is a copy of the Articles of Incorporation.
  5. BYLAWS is a copy of the adopted Bylaws.

RULES are the rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors, typically adopted as ways to more specifically enforce the obligations already in the governing documents (Declaration, Bylaws), in response to community requests and concerns that impact a significant majority of condo owners.

SUMMARY: CONDO GOV DOCS is a brief summary of some of the provisions in the declaration, bylaws, rules and regulations that owners most often ask about and is the summary that all renters must acknowledge reading by signing a copy to be delivered by the owner to management when leasing (the summary is also available in FORMS for owners to have their renters sign).

Condo owners are also subject to the governing documents of the Esplanade Palmer Ranch Homeowners Association, Inc., which can be found at EsplanadePR.com. The section of the HOA Declaration for Use Restrictions is provided below as ESPLANADE HOA: Amended Declaration Use Restrictions.
