The Ohio Condominium Property Act, O.R.C. Chapter 5311, governs the formation, management, powers, and operation of condominiums in Ohio. The chapter applies only to property that has been specifically submitted to its provisions, as set out in O.R.C. § 5311.02:
Chapter 5311. of the Revised Code applies only to property that is specifically submitted to its provisions by the execution and filing for record of a declaration by the owner, as provided in this chapter. In every instance, any property so submitted shall be either a fee simple estate or a ninety-nine year leasehold, renewable forever. Neither the submission of property to the provisions of this chapter, nor the conveyance or transfer of a condominium ownership interest constitutes a subdivision within the meaning of, or is subject to, Chapter 711. of the Revised Code.
