The BOD is changing their rules, which is allowed from time to time by our declaration. Should we have the new rules recorded by the county? I don't believe our current set is recorded at all.

In Colorado the By-laws and Rules and Regulations do not have to be recorded with the County Clerk's office; only the Declaration and amendments to it. The Rules and Regulations and the By-laws and their amendments should be promptly provided to all owners.

Generally it is not required that the rules be recorded, but I would go ahead and record them anyhow. Let's say your CC&R's state that the board can limit the number of pets, and the board adopts a rule limiting pets to 1 dog and 1 cat. A new owner wouldn't find that out unless the selling owner gave them the rules, which often doesn't happen. But if the rule was part of the property records, they'd have a better chance of knowing, or at least couldn't use "It's not in the documents on file" excuse when they move in with their sled dog team.

To me, it just makes sense to continually put as much information out in places where owners and new owners are bound to trip over it.
