Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Taxes, assessments, including special assessments, and other charges of this State or of any political
subdivision, or of any special improvement district, or any other taxing or assessing authority shall be
assessed against and collected on each individual unit, each of which shall be carried on the tax books
as a separate and distinct entity for that purpose and not on the building or property as a whole. Neither
the building, the property nor any of the common areas and facilities shall be deemed to be a parcel,
but each unit shall be deemed to have an undivided interest therein and assessments against any such
unit shall include such proportionate undivided interest. In the event the land or the building, including
common areas and facilities, is separately owned, and leased to the unit owner for a period of not less
than 50 years, and such lease, duly recorded, provides that the lessee shall pay all such taxes, such unit
and its percentages of undivided interest in the common areas and facilities shall be deemed to be a
parcel and shall be separately assessed and taxed as aforesaid. [PL 1965, c. 357 (NEW).]
