3. Project Approval Submission

(A) Full Review

Full Review is required for a Condominium Project that has never been approved by FHA, or that has been previously approved, but the Condominium Project Approval has been expired for more than six months.

All required documentation must be submitted as specified in Condominium Project Approval.

(B) Recertification Review

Recertification Review is performed no earlier than six months prior to the Approved Condominium Project expiration date or no later than six months after the Approved Condominium Project expiration date.

If not submitted within the stated time frames, the Condominium Project is not eligible for recertification but must re-apply for Full Review.

All required documentation must be submitted as specified in Condominium Project Approval, except the following documents:

• recorded CC&Rs, declaration, and/or master deed, and all amendments;
• recorded plat map or condominium site plans;
• signed and adopted bylaws; and
• articles of incorporation, articles of association, Declaration of Trust, or other governing documents, if applicable and as required by state law.

If amendments have been made to the foregoing documents, they must be submitted.
