What must be done regarding the board of directors before the first unit is conveyed in a new condominium?

Before the first unit is conveyed in a new condominium, the initial board must be appointed. This step is crucial for establishing structural governance within the community before any units are sold to ensure that there is a management team in place that can begin to make decisions regarding the operation and management of the condominium. The appointment of an initial board is often outlined in the condominium's declaration or bylaws and helps to form a foundation for governing the community, addressing rules, budgets, and common interests.

Having an appointed board allows for a clear, organized approach to development and property management, ensuring that responsibilities are delegated and structured from the outset. This is vital in a new condominium setting, where coordination is essential for services, maintenance, and community rules that need to be crafted prior to unit ownership transitions.
