Except as provided in the timeshare instrument, the managing entity may transfer monies in any operating account to any deferred maintenance or capital expenditure reserve account without the vote or approval of owners of the timeshare interests.

F. The managing entity may levy and enforce assessments on any timeshare interests in accordance with the timeshare instrument, and the assessment constitutes a debt of the owner of the interest at the time the assessment is made. Assessments and other monetary obligations are governed as follows:

1. The timeshare instrument shall provide for the allocation of common expenses among timeshare interests, as assessments, on a reasonable basis. The timeshare instrument may allocate expenses differently between accommodations that are part of the timeshare plan and facilities that are not part of the timeshare plan if the different allocations are based on reasonable differences in the benefit provided to each type of property. The timeshare instrument shall allocate common expenses to timeshare interests owned or not yet sold by a developer on the same basis that common expenses are allocated to similar or equivalent timeshare interests sold to purchasers, as assessments, except if a subsidy agreement or similar document is in place that provides for the developer to pay no, or a lesser share of, common expenses in return for subsidizing any deficits or shortfalls in the operating monies of the timeshare plan, and if that exclusion from or reduced assessments and subsidy agreement or other document are referred to in the public reports issued under Section 32-2197.08.

2. The managing entity may impose reasonable monetary penalties for violation of the timeshare instrument, as an assessment, as authorized by the timeshare instrument.

3. Assessments may include personal charges and other amounts as authorized by the timeshare instrument.

4. The managing entity may assign to the delinquent owners the costs of collection, including attorney fees, administrative fees, late fees, interest and penalties as authorized by the timeshare instrument.

5. The amount of any assessment plus any other charges such as interest, collection costs, attorney fees, administrative fees, late fees, interest and penalties, as may be provided for in the timeshare instrument, are a lien on the timeshare interest assessed from the time the assessment became due. The lien has priority over other liens as provided in the timeshare instrument. The lien may be enforced, foreclosed or realized on as provided in the timeshare instrument.

6. On the receipt of a written request, the managing entity shall furnish to an owner or any lender who has a security interest in a timeshare interest or the timeshare property a statement setting forth the amount of unpaid assessments made against the owner’s timeshare interest. The statement must be furnished within ten business days after receipt of the request and is binding on the managing entity, the association, the board and every owner.
