Operating expenses such as insurance, maintenance, repairs, improvements, utilities and management are usually divided in proportion to ownership, so that a 20% owner will pay 20% of each of these expenses.  When using the Pay-To-Use Approach, owner usage fees and rental income would be offset against expenses, and the 20% owner (after paying the usage fees for any days or weeks he/she spent in the home) would get 20% of any surplus if income exceeds expenses, or pay 20% of any deficit if expenses exceed income.
 
In states (such as California) where resale triggers reassessment, the starting point for allocating property tax among the co-owners should be the amount that each co-owner paid for his/her interest. When the property tax is increased as the result of the resale of a fractional share, the buyer should pay the entirety of the increase. A resale by one co-owner should never increase a non-selling co- owner’s property tax burden. In states where resale does not trigger reassessment, property tax can be allocated like other operating expenses.
