Recordation of plan; amendment or revocation

Covered in 3 owner guides

What this section does for you

The condominium statute, and whatever penalty language it allows, applies only to property where an owner has recorded a plan, survey map, floor plans, and consent certificate; a non-condo subdivision HOA sits outside this chapter entirely.
Owner guide: Fines & violations in Mississippi
Requires the condominium's plan, survey map, floor plans, and consent certificate to be recorded with the chancery clerk, a public record regardless of the board's cooperation.

The recorded-plan gate: this section's meeting and amendment rules, thin as the meeting rules are, only apply to a property with an actual recorded condominium plan.

The statutory text

Verbatim from the public record. The law itself is a government work — always confirm the current version on the official source before you rely on it.

The provisions of this chapter shall apply to property divided or to be divided into condominiums only if there shall be recorded in the office of the chancery clerk in the county in which such property lies a plan consisting of (a) a description or survey map of the surface of the land included within the project, (b) diagrammatic floor plans of the building or buildings built or to be built thereon in sufficient detail to identify each unit, its relative location and approximate dimensions, and (c) a certificate consenting to the recordation of such plan pursuant to this chapter signed and acknowledged by the record owner of such real property and all record holders of security interests therein. Such plan may be amended or revoked by a subsequently acknowledged recorded instrument executed by the record owner of such real property and by all record holders of security interests therein. Until such recordation of a revocation, the provisions of this chapter shall continue to apply to such real property. The term "record owner" as used in this section includes all of the record owners of such real property at the time of recordation, but does not include holders of security interests, mineral or royalty interests, easements or rights of way.
