AL Code § 35-8-13 (2021)
2021 Code of Alabama|Title 35 - Property.|Chapter 8 - Condominium Ownership.|Section 35-8-13 - Common Expenses and Limited Common Expenses.

Section 35-8-13Common expenses and limited common expenses. The common expenses and limited common expenses shall be charged to unit owners in such amount that the charge corresponds approximately to their respective undivided interests in the common elements and limited common elements as set forth or determined by the declaration and amendments thereto. The amount of such expenses charged to each unit shall be a lien against such unit subject to the provisions of Section 35-8-17. A unit owner shall, by acceptance of title, be conclusively presumed to have agreed to pay his proportionate share of such expenses accruing while he is the owner of a unit. However, the liability of a unit owner for such expenses shall be limited to amounts duly assessed in accordance with this chapter, the declaration, and bylaws. No unit owner may exempt himself from liability for his share of such expenses arising out of common elements and limited common elements in which he has an interest by waiver of the enjoyment of the right to use any of the common elements, or limited common elements or by abandonment of his unit or otherwise. Such expenses charged to any unit shall bear interest from the due date set by the association. The interest rate, not to exceed the legal interest rate, may be established by the association or, if no rate is so established, it shall be the legal rate. (Acts 1964, 1st Ex. Sess., No. 206, p. 266, §§21, 23; Acts 1973, No. 1059, p. 1732, §13.)

Section 35-8-14Prohibited work. There shall be no material alteration of or substantial addition to the common elements or limited common elements except as authorized by the declaration. No unit owner shall contract for or perform any maintenance, repair, replacement, removal, alteration, or modification of the common elements, or limited common elements, or any additions thereto, except through the association and its officers. No unit owner shall take or cause to be taken any action within his unit which would jeopardize the soundness or safety of any part of the condominium property or impair any easement or right of any unit owner or affect the common elements, or limited common elements, without the unanimous consent of all unit owners who might be affected thereby.

AL Code § 35-8-15 (2021)
2021 Code of Alabama|Title 35 - Property.|Chapter 8 - Condominium Ownership.|Section 35-8-15 - Taxes, Special Assessments, Etc.

Section 35-8-15Taxes, special assessments, etc. All property taxes, special assessments, and other charges imposed by any taxing authority shall be separately assessed against and collected on each unit as a single parcel, and not on the condominium property as a whole. Such taxes, assessments, and charges shall constitute a lien only upon the unit and upon no other portion of the condominium property. All laws authorizing exemptions or deductions from taxation shall be applicable to each individual unit to the same extent they are applicable to other property. The total of the assessments for tax purposes against the aggregate of all units constituting the condominium property shall not exceed the assessment which would otherwise have been made against such condominium property as a single parcel had it not been submitted to this chapter. (Acts 1964, 1st Ex. Sess., No. 206, p. 266, §22; Acts 1973, No. 1059, p. 1732, §15.)
AL Code § 35-8-16 (2021)
2021 Code of Alabama|Title 35 - Property.|Chapter 8 - Condominium Ownership.|Section 35-8-16 - Liens Against Condominium Property Generally.

Section 35-8-16Liens against condominium property generally. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 35-8-18, subsequent to recording the declaration as provided in this chapter and while the property remains subject to this chapter, no lien shall arise or be effective against the condominium property as a whole. During such period, liens or encumbrances shall arise or be created only against each unit in the same manner and under the same conditions in every respect as liens or encumbrances may arise or be created upon or against any other separate parcel of real property subject to individual ownership; provided, that no labor performed or materials furnished with the consent or at the request of a unit owner or his agent, his contractor or subcontractor shall be the basis for the filing of a lien against the unit or any other property of any other unit owner not expressly consenting to or requesting the same, except that such express consent shall be deemed to be given by the owner of any unit in the case of emergency repairs thereto. Labor performed or materials furnished for the common elements and limited common elements, if duly authorized by the association in accordance with this chapter, the declaration, or bylaws, shall be deemed to be performed or furnished with the express consent of each unit owner benefited by such labor or materials and shall be the basis for the filing of a lien pursuant to the lien laws against each of the units so benefited and shall be subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this section. (b) In the event a lien against two or more units becomes effective, the owner of each separate unit may remove his unit from the lien and obtain a discharge and satisfaction by payment of the proportion thereof attributable to such unit. The proportion so attributable to each unit subject to the lien shall be the proportion in which all units subject to the lien share among themselves in liability for common expenses or limited common expenses as appropriate. Subsequent to any such payment, the lien on such unit shall be discharged or otherwise satisfied of record, and the unit shall thereafter be free and clear of such lien. Such partial payment discharge and satisfaction shall not prevent the lienor from proceeding to enforce his rights against any other unit not so paid, satisfied, or discharged. (Acts 1964, 1st Ex. Sess., No. 206, p. 266, §9; Acts 1973, No. 1059, p. 1732, §16.)

Section 35-8-18Blanket mortgage on condominium property. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, if the declaration or bylaws so permit, the entire condominium property or some or all of the units included therein may be subject to a single or blanket mortgage constituting a first lien thereon created by recordable instrument by all of the owners of the property or units covered thereby; and any unit included under the lien of such mortgage may be sold or otherwise conveyed or transferred subject thereto. The instrument creating any such mortgage shall provide a method whereby any unit owner may obtain a release of his unit from the lien of such mortgage and a satisfaction and discharge in recordable form upon payment to the holder of the mortgage of a sum equal to the proportionate share attributable to his unit of the then outstanding balance of unpaid principal and accrued interest and any other charges then due and unpaid. Such proportionate share attributable to each unit shall be the proportion in which all unit owners whose units are then subject to the lien of the mortgage own among themselves the common elements and limited common elements as provided in the declaration, and the private elements, or such other reasonable proportion as shall be specifically provided in the mortgage instrument. Such mortgage may contain provisions for converting such mortgage to individual mortgages on the individual units included therein. In the event of such conversion, the mortgage on the individual units shall be entitled to recordation without the payment of the mortgage tax provided for by Section 40-22-2. (Acts 1973, No. 1059, p. 1732, §18.)

All persons, as defined in Section 35-8-2, including but not limited to insurance companies, banking organizations, mortgage companies and savings and loan associations, may be permitted to invest in bonds, notes, and evidences of indebtedness which are secured by mortgages or deeds of trust upon condominium property or units thereof wherever such persons may invest and subject to all of the rules and limitations applicable to such investment in bonds, notes, and evidences of indebtedness which are secured by like instruments of the same priority upon real property. Where the applicable limitations are dependent upon the type of use of the real property, only the type of use of the particular unit or units which constitute the security for such investment shall be taken into consideration for the purpose of such limitations. (Acts 1973, No. 1059, p. 1732, §19.)
AL Code § 35-8-20 (2021)
2021 Code of Alabama|Title 35 - Property.|Chapter 8 - Condominium Ownership.|Section 35-8-20 - Termination of Condominium.

Section 35-8-20Termination of condominium. (a) The condominium property may be removed from the provisions of this chapter provided that all unit owners agree and all holders of record of liens affecting any of the units consent or agree, in either case by instruments duly recorded, that their liens be transferred to the undivided share of the unit owner in the property as hereinafter provided. (b) A circuit court may grant the petition of any unit owner for a removal of the condominium property from the provisions of this chapter and a partition under the following circumstances: (1) In the event of total destruction of all improvements of the condominium property and no agreement is reached to rebuild such improvements within a reasonable time, or such rebuilding has not been completed within a reasonable time. (2) In the event of substantial destruction, deterioration, or obsolescence of the condominium property and no agreement is reached to repair, reconstruct, or rebuild such property within a reasonable time, or such repair, reconstruction, or rebuilding has not been completed within a reasonable time, and at least a majority of votes of unit owners shall be cast in favor of such removal. (c) Upon removal of the condominium property from the provisions of this chapter, the property shall be deemed to be owned in common by those who were unit owners at the time of such removal. The undivided share in the property owned in common by each such owner with respect to the previous common elements shall be the undivided interest previously owned by such owner in the previous common elements. The undivided share in the property owned in common by each such owner with respect to the previous limited common elements shall be the undivided interest previously owned by each such owner in the previous limited common elements. The undivided share in the property owned in common by each such owner with respect to the previous private elements may be determined by an appraisal of all previous private elements and a computation of the relation that the value of each such owner's previous private elements bears to the value of all previous private elements or such other reasonable method of determination as the declaration may provide. Under no circumstances shall anyone other than the owner of a unit at the time of removal be entitled to the use of any previous element of such previous unit subsequent to the removal of the condominium property from the provisions of this chapter and prior to the sale of such previous element. (d) After termination of a condominium in any manner, the liens upon the previous units shall be upon the respective undivided interests of the owners as tenants in common. (e) The termination of a condominium shall not bar the creation of another condominium affecting all or part of the same property. (Acts 1964, 1st Ex. Sess., No. 206, p. 266, §16; Acts 1973, No. 1059, p. 1732, §20.)
