interests.
(1) If any portion of the common areas and facilities is taken by eminent domain, the award for it
shall be allocated to the unit owners in proportion to their respective undivided interests in the
common areas and facilities.
(2) If any units are taken by eminent domain, the undivided interest in the common areas and
facilities appertaining to these units shall thenceforth appertain to the remaining units, being
allocated to them in proportion to their respective undivided interests in the common areas
and facilities. The court shall enter a decree reflecting the reallocation of undivided interests so
produced, and the award shall include, without limitation, just compensation to the unit owner of
any unit taken for the unit owner's undivided interest in the common areas and facilities as well
as for the unit owner's unit.
(3) If portions of any unit are taken by eminent domain, the court shall determine the fair market
value of the portions of the unit not taken, and the undivided interest in the common areas and

facilities appertaining to any such units shall be reduced, in the case of each unit, in proportion
to the diminution in the fair market value of the unit resulting from the taking. The portions of
undivided interest in the common areas and facilities thus divested from the unit owners of
these units shall be reallocated among these units and the other units in the condominium
project in proportion to their respective undivided interests in the common areas and facilities,
with any units partially taken participating in the reallocation on the basis of their undivided
interests as reduced in accordance with the preceding sentence. The court shall enter a decree
reflecting the reallocation of undivided interests produced by this, and the award shall include,
without limitation, just compensation to the unit owner of any unit partially taken for that portion
of the unit owner's undivided interest in the common areas and facilities divested from the unit
owner by operation of the first sentence of this Subsection (3), and not revested in the unit
owner by operation of the following sentence, as well as for that portion of the unit owner's unit
taken by eminent domain.
(4) The court shall enter a decree reflecting the reallocation of undivided interests produced by
this, and the award shall include, without limitation, just compensation to the unit owner of any
unit partially taken for that portion of the unit owner's undivided interest in the common areas
and facilities divested from the unit owner and also not revested in the unit owner under this
Subsection (4), as well as for that portion of the unit owner's unit taken by eminent domain.
(5) If, however, the taking of a portion of any unit makes it impractical to use the remaining portion
of that unit for any lawful purpose permitted by the declaration, then the entire undivided
interest in the common areas and facilities appertaining to that unit shall thenceforth appertain
to the remaining units, being allocated to them in proportion to their respective undivided
interest in the common areas and facilities, and the remaining portion of that unit shall
thenceforth be a common area and facility. The court shall enter a decree reflecting the
reallocation of undivided interests produced by this, and the award shall include, without
limitation, just compensation to the unit owner of the unit for the unit owner's entire undivided
interest in the common areas and facilities and for the unit owner's entire unit.
