Protest Procedures For Property Created As Condominium

7-12-2141. Protest procedures for property created as condominium. (1) Whenever property created as a condominium is included within the boundaries of a proposed district and the proposed work or the creation of the district relates to or affects property created as a condominium, and not solely a certain unit in the condominium, the owner of the property created as a condominium that is entitled to protest under this part is collectively the owners of all units having an undivided ownership interest in the common elements of the condominium.

(2) An owner of property created as a condominium may protest against the proposed work or against the extent or creation of the district to be assessed, or both, only through a president, vice president, secretary, or treasurer of the condominium owners' association who timely presents to the county clerk in accordance with 7-12-2109:

(a) a writing identifying the condominium property;

(b) the condominium declaration or other condominium document that shows how votes of unit owners in the condominium are calculated;

(c) original signatures of owners of units in the condominium having an undivided ownership interest in the common elements of the condominium sufficient to constitute an affirmative vote for an undertaking relating to the common elements under the condominium declaration; and

(d) a certificate signed by the president, vice president, secretary, or treasurer of the condominium owners' association certifying that the votes of the unit owners as evidenced by the signatures of the owners are sufficient to constitute an affirmative vote of the condominium owners' association to protest against the proposed work or against the extent or creation of the district, or both.

(3) Each holder of title to a unit in a condominium that is within a proposed district is entitled to notice of the passage of the resolution of intention as provided in this part, and if the district is created and assessments levied, assessments must be levied against the units in the condominium as provided in this part.
