(1) For purposes of property taxation, a time share unit operating under a vacation time sharing ownership plan as defined in item (7) of § 27-32-10, must be valued in the same manner as if the unit were owned by a single owner. The total cumulative purchase price paid by the time share owners for a unit may not be utilized by the tax assessor as a factor in determining the assessed value of the unit. A unit operating under a vacation time sharing lease plan as defined in item (8) of § 27-32-10, may, however, be assessed as other income producing and investment property is assessed.

(2) The assessment and taxation of real property committed to a vacation time ownership plan must be in the name of the person that is designated to provide or receive the funds for payment of the taxes.
