Statutory text

(A) Unless otherwise provided by the declaration or division (B) of section 5311.14 of the Revised Code, the unit owners, by the affirmative vote of all unit owners, may elect to remove condominium property from the provisions of this chapter. In the event of that election, all liens and encumbrances, except taxes and assessments of political subdivisions not then due and payable, upon all or any part of the condominium property, shall be paid, released, modified, or discharged. A certificate setting forth that the election was made shall be filed with the recorder of the county or counties in which the condominium property is situated and recorded by each recorder. The certificate shall be signed as follows:

By the president or other chief officer of the unit owners association, who shall certify in the certificate under oath that all liens and encumbrances, except taxes and assessments of political subdivisions not then due and payable, upon all or any part of the common elements have been paid, released, modified, or discharged;

By the unit owners, each of whom shall certify in the certificate under oath that all liens and encumbrances on the owner's unit or units have been paid, released, modified, or discharged, except taxes and assessments of political subdivisions not then due and payable. (B) A recorder shall not accept for recording any certificate pursuant to this section until a copy is filed with the auditor of the same county, and the certificate contains the auditor's endorsement that a copy is filed with the auditor. (C) A condominium property is deemed removed from the provisions of this chapter upon the filing of the certificate with the recorder or recorders, and upon that removal, the property is owned in common by the unit owners. The undivided interest in the property owned by each unit owner is the undivided interest in the common elements appurtenant to the units in the condominium property previously owned by each owner.
