Subdivision of units

Condominiums · Text verified 2026-07-25

In plain English: If the declaration allows it, a unit can be divided into two or more units. The owner prepares an amendment (including an updated plat) that describes the new units, gives each a number, and splits the old unit's ownership interests among them in a reasonable way. The amendment goes to the board first, and the association records it unless the board finds within thirty days that it is unreasonable and explains why in writing.

33-1223. Subdivision of units

If the declaration expressly permits, a unit may be subdivided into two or more units. A unit owner shall prepare an amendment to the declaration, including the plat, which identifies the unit involved, specifies the boundaries of each unit created and its dimensions, assigns an identifying number to each unit created and allocates the allocated interests formerly allocated to the subdivided unit to the new units in a reasonable manner. The amendment shall be executed by the owner of the unit to be subdivided and, before recording, submitted to the board of directors. Unless the board of directors determines within thirty days that the proposed amendment is unreasonable, which determination shall be in writing and specifically state the reasons for disapproval, the association shall execute its approval and record the amendment.
