When the sole owner or all of the owners, or the sole lessee      or all of the lessees of a lease desire to submit a parcel of real      property upon which a building is located or to be constructed to the      horizontal property regime established by this chapter, a declaration      to that effect shall be executed and acknowledged by the sole owner      or lessee or all of such owners or lessees and shall be recorded in      the office of the county recorder of the county in which such      property lies.  The county recorder shall collect recording fees      pursuant to section 331.604.         2.  If the declaration is to convert an existing structure, the      declarant shall file the declaration of the horizontal property      regime with the city in which the regime is located or with the      county if not located within a city at least sixty days before being      recorded in the office of the county recorder to enable the city or      county, as applicable, to establish that the converted structure      meets appropriate building code requirements as provided in section      499B.20.  However, if the city or county, as applicable, does not      have a building code, the declarant shall file the declaration with      the state building code commissioner instead of the applicable city      or county at least sixty days before the recording of the declaration      to enable the commissioner to establish that the converted structure      meets the state building code, as adopted pursuant to section 103A.7.
