Section 35-8A-317 Other liens affecting the condominium. (a) Except as provided in subsection
(b), a judgment for money against the association if recorded is not a lien on the common
elements, but is a lien in favor of the judgment lienholder against all of the units in the
condominium at the time the judgment was entered. No other property of a unit owner is subject
to the claims of creditors of the association. (b) If the association has granted a security
interest in the common elements to a creditor of the association pursuant to Section 35-8A-312,
the holder of that security interest shall exercise its right against the common elements
before its judgment lien on any unit may be enforced. (c) Whether perfected before or after
the creation of the condominium, if a lien other than a deed of trust or mortgage, including

of the condominium, becomes effective against two or more units, the...

reasonably available: (1) Property insurance on the common elements insuring against all risks
of direct physical loss commonly insured against or, in the case of a conversion building,
against fire and extended coverage perils. The total amount of insurance after application

of the insured property at the time the insurance is purchased or such greater percentage
of such actual cash value as may be necessary to prevent the applicability of any co-insurance
provision and at each renewal date, exclusive of land, excavations, foundations, and other

and any other moneys due the association for special assessments or services or charges, such
as water or repairs, levied against that unit or fines imposed against its unit owner from
the time the assessment or fine becomes due. The association's lien may be foreclosed in like
manner as a mortgage on real estate provided the declaration is in conformity with Article
1A of Chapter 10 of this title and subject to the rights under Article 14A of Chapter 5 of
Title 6. The association shall send reasonable advance notice of its proposed action to the
unit owner and all lienholders of record of the unit. Unless the declaration otherwise provides,
fees, charges, late charges, fines, and interest charged pursuant to Section 35-8A-302(a)(10),

the condominium property as a whole. During such period, liens or encumbrances shall arise

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,

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

of a unit. However, the liability of a unit owner for such expenses shall be limited to amounts
