     § 3211.  Conversion and expansion of flexible condominiums.
        (a)  General rule.--To convert convertible real estate or add
     additional real estate pursuant to an option reserved under
     section 3206(1) (relating to contents of declaration; flexible
     condominiums), the declarant shall prepare, execute and record
     an amendment to the declaration (section 3219) and comply with
     section 3210 (relating to plats and plans). The declarant is the
     unit owner of any units thereby created. The amendment to the
     declaration must assign an identifying number to each unit
     formed in the convertible or additional real estate and
     reallocate common element interests, votes in the association
     and common expense liabilities. The amendment must describe or
     delineate any limited common elements formed out of the
     convertible or additional real estate, showing or designating
     the unit to which each is allocated to the extent required by
     section 3209 (relating to limited common elements).
        (b)  Creations within additional real estate.--Convertible or
     withdrawable real estate may be created within any additional
     real estate added to the condominium if the amendment adding
     that real estate includes all matters required by section 3205
     (relating to contents of declaration; all condominiums) or
     section 3206 (relating to contents of declaration; flexible
     condominiums), as the case may be, and the plat includes all
     matters required by section 3210(b) (relating to plats and
     plans). This provision does not extend the time limit on
     conversion or contraction of a flexible condominium imposed by
     the declaration pursuant to section 3206(2).
        (c)  Liability for expenses and right to income.--Until
     conversion occurs or the period during which conversion may
     occur expires, whichever occurs first, the declarant alone is
     liable for real estate taxes assessed against convertible real
     estate and all other expenses in connection with that real
     estate. No other unit owner and no other portion of the
     condominium is subject to a claim for payment of those taxes or
     expenses. Unless the declaration provides otherwise, any income
     or proceeds from convertible real estate inures to the
     declarant.
