Declaration (master declaration)
The declaration is the core recorded document that creates the HOA and defines units, common areas, and owner obligations. CC&Rs are often part of or attached to the declaration. When people say “governing documents,” the declaration is usually the anchor.
These definitions are for general education only. They are not legal, financial, or tax advice. HOA rules vary by community and location—confirm details against your governing documents and qualified professionals before you act.
