§ 519. Condominiums; common areas and facilities
(a) For purposes of this section, the terms "apartment owner," "association of owners," "common areas and facilities," and "declaration" shall have the same meanings as in the Condominium Ownership Act, 27 V.S.A. chapter 15.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever the Agency under this chapter proposes to acquire any common areas and facilities of a condominium, the association of owners shall constitute the interested person or persons interested in lands in lieu of the individual apartment owners for purposes of the necessity hearing, the compensation hearing, and any appeals therefrom.
(c) The Agency shall serve one copy of the complaint and summons upon the association of owners through one of its officers or agents, instead of upon the individual apartment owners.
(d) The Agency shall make the compensation check payable to the association of owners, which shall then make proportional payments to the apartment owners as their interests appear in the declaration. (Added 1997, No. 150 (Adj. Sess.), § 11; amended 2011, No. 126 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
