How much do you own in your condo?
Condominium ownership is governed according to provisions of laws that govern ownership of real property and state condominium law.Generally, a condominium project is a form of fee ownership by which several owners share ownership of a building(s) by each owning their respective units. The limits of each unit are set forth in the Master Deed as well as any other additional property where use is exclusive to the unit such as parking, balcony, patio, storage, etc. In addition to their unit, each owns a proportionate interest in the land that forms the condominium property, amenities and common areas of the condominium such as pools, recreation areas, game rooms, community rooms, elevators, stairwells, corridors, streets, surrounding land, laundry rooms, and unassigned parking areas.By the acceptance of their unit deed each unit owner agrees to have their unit subject to the provisions in the Master Deed. Although a condominium is governed by statutory law which allows promulgation of rules and regulations and assessing of monthly maintenance fees and special assessments, the ownership of a condominium unit is considered a fee simple estate.
