703.245(1)(1)  Definitions. In this section:

703.245(2) (2) Limitation on judicial actions. An association may not commence or maintain a claim in circuit court against a unit owner unless the association complies with this section, and a unit owner may not commence or maintain a claim in circuit court against an association unless the unit owner complies with this section.

703.245(3) (3) Notice of claim required. Before an association or unit owner files a claim described under sub. (2) in circuit court, the association or unit owner shall deliver to the other party a written notice of the claim that includes all of the following information:

703.245(4) (4) Request for direct negotiation conference. An association or unit owner that delivers or receives a notice of claim under sub. (3) may, no later than 10 business days after delivering or receiving the notice, request a direct negotiation conference with the other party by delivering a written request for direct negotiation that includes at least 3 proposed dates and times for the direct negotiation conference that are at least 5 days but not more than 30 days after the request is delivered. If the association or unit owner delivered the notice of claim, the association or unit owner shall deliver the request to the other party in the same manner that the notice was delivered under sub. (3). If the association or unit owner received the notice of claim, the association or unit owner shall deliver the request to the person identified under sub. (3) (d).

703.245(6) (6) Circuit court action. If an association or unit owner sends a notice of claim under sub. (3), the association or unit owner may file the claim in circuit court when the earliest of the following occurs:

703.245(7) (7) Tolling of statutes of limitations. Any statute of limitations applicable to a claim is tolled for the period beginning on the date an association or unit owner delivers notice of the claim under sub. (3) and ending on the date the association or unit owner is allowed under sub. (6) to file the claim in circuit court.

703.245(8) (8) Breach of settlement agreement; fee shifting. If an association and a unit owner resolve the dispute to which a claim described under sub. (3) (a) relates through direct negotiation under sub. (5) (c), the association and unit owner may document that resolution in a written settlement agreement signed by them. If the association or unit owner materially breaches any material part of the agreement, subs. (2) to (6) do not apply to a claim of the nonbreaching party against the breaching party related to the breach, and the nonbreaching party may file a claim in circuit court related to the breach. If the nonbreaching party prevails in the circuit court action under this subsection, the circuit court shall award the nonbreaching party costs and, notwithstanding s. 814.04 (1), reasonable attorney fees.

703.25(1)(1)  An action for tort alleging a wrong done by any agent or employee of a declarant or of an association, or in connection with the condition of any portion of a condominium which a declarant or an association has the responsibility to maintain, shall be brought against the declarant or the association, as the case may be. No unit owner shall be precluded from bringing such an action by virtue of its ownership of an undivided interest in the common elements or by reason of its membership in the association or its status as an officer.

703.25(2) (2) An action arising from a contract made by or on behalf of an association shall be brought against the association, or against the declarant if the cause of action arose during the exercise by the declarant of control reserved under the declaration. No unit owner shall be precluded from bringing such an action by reason of its membership in the association or its status as an officer.

703.25(3) (3) A judgment for money against an association shall be a lien against any property owned by the association, and against each of the condominium units in proportion to the liability of each unit owner for common expenses as established under the declaration in an amount not exceeding the market value of the unit, but not against any other property of any unit owner.

703.26(1)(1)  Declarant may reserve right to expand. A declarant may reserve the right to expand a condominium by subjecting additional property to the condominium declaration in such a manner that as each additional property is subjected to the condominium declaration, the percentage of undivided interests in the common elements of the preceding and new property shall be reallocated between the unit owners on the basis of the aggregate undivided interest in the common elements appertaining to the property.

703.26(2) (2) Conditions to which reservation subject. A reservation of the right to expand a condominium is subject to the conditions provided in this subsection.

703.265(1)(1)  If the revision or adoption of a building code or zoning ordinance prevents or substantially affects the construction of a unit or common elements as platted, the declarant may reasonably modify the condominium plat, by addendum, to the extent necessary to comply with the code or ordinance in order to construct the unit or common elements.

703.265(2) (2) If the revision or adoption of a building code or zoning ordinance prevents or substantially affects the reconstruction of a unit or common element as platted, the declarant, unit owner, or association, as appropriate, may reasonably modify the condominium plat, by addendum, to the extent necessary to comply with the code or ordinance in order to reconstruct the unit or common elements.

703.265(3) (3) An addendum made under this section shall be recorded as provided under s. 703.095.

703.27(1)(1)  A zoning or other land use ordinance or regulations may not prohibit the condominium form of ownership or impose any requirements upon a condominium that it would not impose if the development were under a different form of ownership. No provision of a state or local building code may be applied differently to a building in a condominium than it would be applied if the building were under a different form of ownership unless the different application is expressly permitted in that provision and the different application is reasonably related to the nature of condominium ownership. No subdivision ordinance may apply to any condominium unless the ordinance is, by its express terms, applicable to condominiums and the application is reasonably related to the nature of condominium ownership.

703.27(2) (2) No county, city, or other jurisdiction may enact any law, ordinance, or regulation that would impose a greater burden or restriction on a condominium or provide a lower level of services to a condominium than would be imposed or provided if the condominium were under a different form of ownership.

703.275(1)(1)  Agreement; legal effect. Any 2 or more condominiums, including 2 or more small condominiums or any combination of small condominiums and other condominiums, by agreement of the unit owners as provided in this section, may be merged or consolidated into a single condominium. Unless the agreement otherwise provides, the condominium resulting from a merger or consolidation is, for all purposes, the legal successor of all of the preexisting condominiums and the operations and activities of all associations of the preexisting condominiums shall be merged or consolidated into a single association which shall hold all powers, rights, obligations, assets and liabilities of the preexisting associations. The resultant condominium must bear the name of one of the preexisting condominiums.

703.275(3) (3) Agreement; other provisions. The merger or consolidation agreement may contain any provisions consistent with this chapter in addition to those specified in sub. (2).

703.275(4) (4) Votes. The merger or consolidation agreement is effective if the agreement is approved by the unit owners of units to which at least 75 percent of the votes in each preexisting association are allocated. If the declaration of a preexisting association specifies that a percentage greater than 75 percent of the votes in that association is required to approve a merger or consolidation agreement, the greater percentage applies to the vote of that association. A declaration of a preexisting association may specify a smaller percentage and the smaller percentage applies to the vote of that association only if all of the units in the preexisting condominium are restricted exclusively to nonresidential uses.

703.275(5) (5) Recording. Both a restatement of the declaration of the resultant condominium that includes the merger agreement and an addendum to the condominium plat of the resultant condominium shall be recorded as provided in s. 703.07. On the plat of the preexisting condominium, the register of deeds shall reference the document number assigned to the plat of the resultant condominium and, if the plat of the resultant condominium is assigned a volume and page number, the volume and page where the plat of the resultant condominium is recorded and shall note that the preexisting condominium has been merged.

703.28(1)(1)  All of the unit owners may remove all or any part of the property from the provisions of this chapter by a removal instrument, duly recorded, provided that the holders of all liens affecting any of the units consent thereto or agree, in either case by instruments duly recorded, that their liens be transferred to the percentage of the undivided interest of the unit owner in the property.

703.28(2) (2) Upon removal of any property from this chapter, the property shall be deemed to be owned in common by the unit owners. The undivided interest in the property owned in common which appertains to each unit owner shall be the percentage of undivided interest previously owned by the owner in the common elements.
