How do I go about getting permission to make changes to my condo unit?

In order to make changes to your condo unit in New Hampshire, permission is required from the Board of Directors of your condo association. Generally, this permission is granted through a process of submitting a written application to the Board for approval. The Board will review the application and determine if the changes are compliant with the condo association’s governing documents. These documents dictate what parts of the unit can be altered and what materials may be used. Many times, the Board will also require that the proposed changes meet certain aesthetic standards, such as paint color or type of flooring, before granting approval. The Board’s decision to approve or deny the application will be based on their judgement as to whether or not the changes are consistent with the best interests of the association. Generally, the Board will require that any changes to the unit comply with the building’s existing fire safety, electrical, and plumbing regulations. It is important to note that the Board is required to respond to the application in a timely manner, and that if the application is denied, the Board must provide a written explanation of their decision. If the Board does not provide a timely response, or the applicant believes the decision is unfair, they have the right to appeal the decision to the New Hampshire Condo Commission. The Commission will review the application, the Board’s decision, and the governing documents and provide a binding decision.
