Which best describes the ownership structure of a condominium unit?
Correct Answer
B) Fee simple ownership of the unit plus an undivided interest in common areas
In Maine, condominiums are governed by the Maine Condominium Act (33 M.R.S. §1601-101 et seq.). A condominium owner holds fee simple title to their individual unit and an undivided percentage interest in the common elements (such as hallways, roofs, and grounds) shared with other unit owners. This distinguishes condominiums from cooperatives, where residents own shares in a corporation.
