NMSA 1978, § 47-7C-14

Unless otherwise provided in the declaration, any surplus funds of the association remaining after payment of or provision for common expenses and any prepayment of reserves shall be paid to the unit owners in proportion to their common expense liabilities or credited to them to reduce their future common expense assessments. History: Laws 1982, ch. 27, § 47. ANNOTATIONS Compiler's notes. — This section is substantially similar to § 3-114 of the Uniform Condominium Act. COMMISSIONERS' COMMENT Surplus funds of the association are generally used first for the pre-payment of reserves, and remaining funds are thereafter credited to the account of unit owners or paid to them. In some cases, however, unit owners might prefer that surplus funds be used for other purposes (e.g., the purchase of recreational equipment). Accordingly, this section permits the declaration to specify any other use of surplus funds. Am. Jur. 2d, A.L.R. and C.J.S. references. — 15A Am.
