## What do you think? Question:

[**Condo associations**](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) have certain [**condo documents**](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx?Tag=Condo+Docs) on file when a condo development is established. First, the Declaration is the document that establishes the condominium complex as a legal entity. It calls for the establishment of a condominium association made up of all the owners of the condominiums in that complex.  
 Second, there are [**condo by-laws**](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx?Tag=Bylaw), rules for the administration of the condominium property. It is important to understand the by-laws of the development in which you will be purchasing a unit. Some by-laws prohibit pets while others have restrictions on noise, visitor parking, and so forth. The original by-laws can be amended by a vote of the condoassociation members. Some of these documents can be quite lengthy and hard to read. However, a realtor who is a condo specialist is familiar with these documents and can explain them to you. Ask your real estate agent to obtain the latest information on recent [**condo budgets**](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx?Tag=Budgets) and changes to the by-laws so that you can choose the best complex for you.

The budget will indicate how much is being spent on each item covered by the [**condo fee**](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx?Tag=Condo+Fees). The size of the reserves gives you insight regarding how secure the condo association is. Reading the minutes of the most recent meeting will tell you if there are any [**special HOA assessments**](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx?Tag=Assessments), condo fee increases or major changes being considered by the [**condo board**](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx?Tag=Boards).
