In Colorado, a 'condominium' ownership means the owner holds:

AA. Only personal property interest in their unit, which most practitioners would generally accept
BB. Fee simple title to their individual unit plus an undivided interest in the common elementsCorrect
CC. A leasehold interest in the unit and land
DD. Only a cooperative share

Why B. Fee simple title to their individual unit plus an undivided interest in the common elements Is Correct

Answer B: B. Fee simple title to their individual unit plus an undivided interest in the common elements

Colorado condominium ownership (governed by the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act - CCIOA) gives each owner fee simple title to their individual unit plus an undivided fractional interest in the common elements (hallways, grounds, amenities). This is distinct from cooperative ownership, where residents own shares in a corporation.
