P.R. Laws tit. 5, § 4604
The certified copy of the deed that originates the first registration of the entire real property and the certified copy that originates the first registration of the individual housing unit for its registration in the Property Registry shall be attached as complementary documents to the faithful and complete copies of the blueprints of said real property or the sketches of the housing unit in question, as the case may be, in order to file them in the Property Registry. Said blueprints shall be certified, without the payment of fees, by the Administrator of Regulations and Permits and shall graphically indicate the characteristics of the real property or housing unit, as the case may be.
When submitting an existing real estate property whose blueprints are not filed in the Regulations and Permits Administration to the regime, it shall be so stated in a certification issued to such effects by the Administrator. In such a case, a set of blueprints, as built, certified by an engineer or architect authorized to practice his/her profession in Puerto Rico, that graphically indicates the characteristics of the real property or housing unit, as the case may be, shall be added to a certified copy of the deed originated under said regime and to a certified copy of the deed originated by the registration of the individual housing unit.
The certified copy of the deed that originates the first registration of the entire real property for its registration in the Property Registry shall also have attached an appraisal of said real property certified by an appraiser authorized to practice his/her profession in Puerto Rico, in order to comply with the provisions of the Mortgage Law and of the Property Registry Act and its regulation, if so provided or required by the Honorable Registrar. However, the cooperative shall be exempted from the payment of registration fees, pursuant to the provisions in §§ 4525—4529 of this title. Said exemption is not extended to the registration of the rights of the member-owners on their respective housing units.
