(1) For purposes of property taxation, a time share unit operating under a vacation time sharing ownership plan as defined in item (7) of Section 27-32-10, must be valued in the same manner as if the unit were owned by a single owner. The total cumulative purchase price paid by the time share owners for a unit may not be utilized by the tax assessor as a factor in determining the assessed value of the unit. A unit operating under a vacation time sharing lease plan as defined in item (8) of Section 27-32-10, may, however, be assessed as other income producing and investment property is assessed.
(2) The assessment and taxation of real property committed to a vacation time ownership plan must be in the name of the person that is designated to provide or receive the funds for payment of the taxes.
(3) Should the person fail to pay the taxes, an execution for the taxes must be issued in the joint name of all the owners of the time sharing periods and must be collected as provided by law.
