Section 33-2211 - Trustee's sale of timeshare estates; notice; cure; notice to prevent sale; definitionsA. The association or other managing entity may cause a trustee's sale of the timeshare estate, of an owner who is delinquent in the payment of assessments for that timeshare estate to that association or managing entity, under a timeshare instrument pursuant to this section, but only if that owner has been delinquent in the payment of assessments for that timeshare estate for a period of one year.B. An association or other managing entity that desires to use a trustee's sale shall prepare, execute and acknowledge a notice of delinquency identifying the owner of the timeshare estate, the nature and amount of the owner's current delinquency in payment of assessments, the legal description of the owner's timeshare estate, the name and address of the association or other managing entity and the name and address of the trustee designated by the association or managing entity to conduct the trustee's sale.C. A notice of delinquency may apply to multiple timeshare estates owned by an owner if the owner is delinquent in payment of assessments for all of the timeshare estates included in the notice of delinquency and the notice of delinquency states separately the delinquent assessments for each timeshare estate. A notice of delinquency may apply to multiple delinquent owners if each owner's delinquency or delinquencies are listed separately and the notice includes the information required by subsection B of this section for each owner.D. The association or managing entity shall record the notice of delinquency with the county recorder of the county in which the timeshare property relating to the timeshare estate or estates is located and shall mail by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of the notice of delinquency to the owner or owners listed in the notice at the last address for each delinquent owner according to the records of the association or managing entity. The association or other managing entity shall post a summary of the notice of delinquency on an owners' bulletin board or other owner notice board provided by the association or other managing entity at the timeshare property, subject to other applicable law.E. A trustee appointed in a notice of delinquency and any properly appointed substitute trustee may conduct a trustee's sale of a timeshare estate under this section. The recording of a notice of delinquency shall satisfy all requirements for the trustee, or any properly appointed substitute trustee, to appear in the chain of title for the timeshare estate in order for the trustee to be entitled to issue a trustee's deed on completion of a trustee's sale for the timeshare estate.F. If the delinquencies identified in a notice of delinquency are not cured within thirty days after the association or managing entity mails the notice of delinquency to the delinquent owner under subsection D of this section, the association or managing entity may cause the trustee to conduct a trustee's sale of the delinquent owner's timeshare estate pursuant to sections 33-803.01, 33-804, 33-807, 33-808, 33-809, 33-810, 33-811, 33-812, 33-813 and 33-820, except as otherwise provided in this section.

Any format of notice of trustee's sale may be used if the required information stated in section 33-808, subsection C is provided.

The bid deposit under section 33-810, subsection A is one thousand dollars, as a single deposit for all timeshare estates included in the notice of trustee's sale.

The proceeds of a trustee's sale shall be applied as provided in section 33-812, including the payment of all remaining excess proceeds to the trustor under section 33-812, subsection A. The trustor and junior lienholders may reinstate by paying all amounts due in accordance with section 33-813.H. The trustee's sale may include multiple timeshare estates owned by an owner if the owner is delinquent in payment of assessments for all of the timeshare estates included in the trustee's sale proceeding. The trustee's sale may include timeshare estates owned by multiple owners if the notice of trustee's sale provides all information required by section 33-808, subsection D for each owner and timeshare estate and each timeshare estate is sold separately.I. If fee title to a timeshare estate was acquired by an owner before January 1, 2009, the trustee shall proceed as follows and the owner may prevent a trustee's sale as to that timeshare estate as follows:1.
