You have to register in Bulstat within 3 days after buying the property on your name. The fine is about 50-100 BGN, but if more than 5 years have passed, the fine will be void. However it’s better for you to still register at Bulstat registry as various authorities will ask you for the bulstat number e.g. you will have difficulties selling the property.

The questions you are asking are too general, therefore any legal statement can be false unless I review the documents and decisions you are referring to.

The definition is in the Act. Generally said it’s any condominium building having a restricted access to it – divided by barrier, security personnel etc.

Thanks for the info. One more question. If a right was given to people by the state, then any attempt to take away this particular right – in the form of override, for example – would be unconstitutional. So even if the District court decides that an owner is obliged to pay per Article 51, higher instances would easily overrule such a decision. Am I right here, or not…? The management body can enforce decisions in accordance with the law, but enforcing a decision that collides with the law (such as overriding Article 51), should not be permitted, even through loopholes…?

If the pool is a privately owned, any money collected for maintenance of common parts and used for maintaining the pool will be illegally used for this purpose. Of course your collective agreement may include specific clauses describing this service and how the money is distributed. But generally the Condominium Ownership Management Act bans using common parts maintenance money for private properties.
