Vermont Statutes Title 19. Highways, § 519. Condominiums; common areas and facilities

(a) As used in this section, “apartment owner,” “association of owners,” “common areas and facilities,” and “declaration” have the same meanings as in the Condominium Ownership Act, 27 V.S.A. § 1302.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever the Agency proposes under this chapter 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 from the necessity hearing or compensation hearing.

(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.
