Condo Q&A

Should condo association do special assessment or just split up a bill?

Our condo association consists of 10 townhouses classified as condos. Each of the upper decks need work some estimated at $1200 and others $4300. All of us are willing to pay the estimate to fix each individually with the contractor.

The president says because we are a condo association we have to divide it equally at $3,400 ...each all paying the same. All of us were in agreement to pay the amount individually.

How do we do a special assessment of each unit to make the repairs paying the contractor for the work done to his/her own unit and not a blanket assessment all parts being equal? Shouldn't we do a special assessment so units are charges their proportioned amount?  Anyone dealt with this before?
