18-14-204. Application for registration.

(a) An application for registration shall contain the public offering statement, a brief description of the property, copies of time-share instruments, financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles fully and fairly disclosing the current financial condition of the developer, and any documents referred to therein and such other information as may be required by the agency.

(b) If the dwelling units in the time-share project are in a condominium development or other common-interest subdivision, the application for registration shall contain evidence that the use of the units for time-share purposes is not prohibited by the project instruments and, if the project instruments do not expressly authorize time-sharing, evidence that purchasers in the condominium development or other common-interest subdivision were given at least sixty (60) days' notice in writing prior to the application for registration that the units would be used for time-share purposes. In the event the project instruments contain a prohibition against time-sharing, there must be a certification by the board of directors of the association that any procedures specified in the project instruments for the amendment of such instruments, in order to permit time-sharing, have been followed and that the project instruments have been duly amended to permit time-sharing.

(c) The application shall be accompanied by a filing fee of three hundred dollars ($300) plus five dollars ($5.00) for each twenty-five (25) time-share intervals or portions thereof. The filing fee shall not exceed the sum of five hundred dollars ($500).

(d) The agency shall thoroughly investigate all matters relating to the application and may require a personal inspection of the real estate by a person or persons designated by it. All direct expenses incurred by the agency in inspecting the real estate shall be borne by the applicant, and the agency may require a deposit sufficient to cover the direct expenses prior to incurring them.

(e) All applications for registration shall be updated and renewed at least annually, and the renewal shall be accompanied by a filing fee of one-half (1/2) the amount of the original filing fee.
