Apartment Decision Book Procurement: Legal Processes and Professional Management Solutions
Introduction: The Decision Book — The Legal Backbone of Apartment Management
In the Turkish legal system, the apartment decision book is a legal requirement under Article 38 of the Condominium Ownership Law. According to 2023 data, 35% of apartment buildings fail to properly procure this book or make errors in the certification process. In this comprehensive guide, we will examine the legal processes for obtaining a decision book, the obstacles encountered, and how professional management companies assume a guiding role in this process.
How Is a Decision Book Obtained?
A legally valid decision book must have a serial number, numbered pages, and must be opened with notary certification. Decisions made with unregistered or unapproved books are invalid before courts.

1. The 7 Critical Steps of the Decision Book Procurement Process
1.1. Selecting a Notary-Approved Book
- Legal Requirements: Pages must be numbered, have a serial number, and be titled "Apartment Decision Book."
- Capacity: At least 100 pages should be preferred for long-term use.
- Cost: As of 2026, the average cost including current notary certification fees is around 850 TL.
1.2. Title Deed Office and Registration Processes
Decisions made with unregistered books are considered legally invalid. When procuring a new book, after notary certification, it is essential that it gains official status through apartment legal entity documents and a management board resolution.
1.3. Archiving the Old Book
By law, books must be kept for 10 years. Professional management companies handle this process by scanning pages and uploading them to digital cloud storage, while keeping physical copies in secure archives.
