Statutory text
(a) General rule.-- Plats and plans are a part of the declaration. Separate plats and plans are not required
by this subpart if all the information required by this section is contained in either
a plat or plan. Each plat and plan must be clear and legible. The plats and plans
must contain, on the first page of the plats and plans, a certification that all of
the plats and plans contain all information required by this section.
(b) Contents of plat.-- Each plat must show:
The name, location and dimensions of the condominium.
The location and dimensions of all existing improvements.
The intended location and dimensions of any contemplated improvement to be constructed
anywhere within the condominium labeled either "MUST BE BUILT" or "NEED NOT BE BUILT"
but need not show contemplated improvements within the boundaries of convertible real
estate.
The location and dimensions of any convertible real estate, labeled as such.
The location and dimensions of any withdrawable real estate, labeled as such.
The extent of any encroachments by or upon any portion of the condominium.
To the extent feasible, the location and dimensions of all easements serving or burdening
any portion of the condominium.
The location and dimensions of any vertical unit boundaries not shown or projected
on plans recorded pursuant to subsection (c) and that unit's identifying number.
The location with reference to established datum of any horizontal unit boundaries
not shown or projected on plans recorded pursuant to subsection (c) and that unit's
identifying number.
The location and dimensions of any real estate in which the unit owners will own only
an estate for years, labeled as "leasehold real estate."
The distance between noncontiguous parcels of real estate comprising the condominium.
The location and dimensions of limited common elements, including porches, balconies
and patios, other than parking spaces and the other limited common elements described
in section 3202
and
(relating to unit boundaries) not shown on plans recorded
pursuant to subsection (c).
All other matters customarily shown on land surveys.
(c) Contents of plan.-- Plans of every building that contains or comprises all or part of any unit and is
located or must be built within any portion of the condominium, other than within
the boundaries of any convertible real estate, must show:
The location and dimensions of the vertical boundaries of each unit, to the extent
those boundaries lie within or coincide with the boundaries of the building in which
the unit is located, and that unit's identifying number.
Any horizontal unit boundaries, with reference to established datum, not shown on
plats recorded pursuant to subsection (b), and that unit's identifying number.
Any units that may be converted by the declarant to create additional units or common
elements (section 3215(c)), identified appropriately.
The location and dimensions of limited common elements, including porches, balconies
and patios, other than parking spaces and other limited common elements described
in section 3202
and
not shown on plats recorded pursuant to subsection (b).
(d) Horizontal boundaries of unit partly outside building.-- Unless the declaration provides otherwise, the horizontal boundaries of part of a
unit located outside of a building have the same elevation as the horizontal boundaries
of the inside part and need not be depicted on the plats and plans.
(e) Converting or adding real estate.-- Upon converting convertible real estate or adding additional real estate (section
3211), the declarant shall record new plats for that real estate conforming to the
requirements of subsection (b) and new plans for any buildings on that real estate
conforming to the requirements of subsection (c). If less than all of any convertible
real estate is being converted, the new plats must also show the location and dimensions
of the remaining portion.
(f) Converting units.-- If a declarant converts any unit into two or more units, limited common elements,
or both (section 3215), he shall record new plans showing the location and dimensions
of any new units and limited common elements thus created as well as the location
and dimensions of any portion of that space not being converted.
(g) Alternative recording.-- Instead of recording new plats and plans as required by subsections (e) and (f), the
declarant may record new certifications of plats and plans previously recorded if
those plats and plans show all improvements required by subsections (e) and (f).
(h) Who may make certifications.-- Any certification of a plat or plan required by this section must be made by an independent
registered surveyor, architect or professional engineer.
