Allocation of common element interests, votes and common expense liabilities.
§ 3208. Allocation of common element interests, votes and common expense liabilities.
(a) General rule.--The declaration shall allocate a fraction or percentage of undivided interests in the common elements and in the common expenses of the association, and a portion of the votes in the association, to each unit and state the formulas used to establish those allocations. Such formulas may take into account unusual attributes of identified units if the formulas state how the deviation from the normal rule applies to such units.
(b) Flexible condominiums.--If units may be added to, including by conversion of convertible real estate to one or more units, or withdrawn from the condominium, the declaration must state the formulas to be used to reallocate the fractions or percentages of undivided interests in the common elements and in the common expenses of the association and the portions of the votes in the association among all units included in the condominium after the addition or withdrawal.
(c) Votes.--Each unit in the condominium shall be allocated one or more votes in the condominium association. The declaration shall specify how votes in the condominium shall be allocated among the units and may provide:
(1) for different allocations of votes among the units on particular matters specified in the declaration; and
(2) for class voting on specified issues affecting a particular class of units if necessary to protect the valid interests of the owners of such units and not affecting units outside of the class.
Cumulative voting shall only be permitted if so provided expressly in the declaration and only for the purpose of electing members of the executive board. A declarant may not utilize cumulative or class voting for the purpose of evading any limitations imposed upon declarants by this subpart. The declaration may provide that different allocations of votes shall be made to the units on particular matters specified in the declaration.
(d) Alteration or partition of allocations.--Except in the case of eminent domain (section 3107), expansion or conversion of a flexible condominium (section 3211), withdrawal of withdrawable real estate (section 3212), relocation of boundaries between adjoining units (section 3214) or subdivision of units (section 3215), the common element interest, votes and common expense liability allocated to any unit may not be altered without unanimous consent of all unit owners. The common elements are not subject to partition and any purported conveyance, encumbrance, judicial sale or other voluntary or involuntary transfer of an undivided interest in the common elements made without the unit to which it is allocated is void.
(e) Calculations for undivided interests.--Except for minor variations due to rounding, the sums of the undivided interests in the common elements and common expense liabilities allocated at any time to all the units shall each equal one if stated as fractions or 100% if stated as percentages. In the event of discrepancy between the common element interest, votes or common expense liability allocated to a unit and the result derived from application of the formulas, the allocated common element interest, vote or common expense liability prevails.
