So you are not trying to draw a map highliting multiple parcel
polygons, you want to display attribute data (like owner name,
address, etc.) for multiple records associated with a single polygon.
Am I right?  I have an application in which I am doing something like
this and I can say that it is pretty straight forward. Unfortunately,
the app where I'm doing it is not publicly accessible so you can not
easily see it, and I'm traveling, so I can not easily attach any code
snippets.

More generally, I've struggled wit the
condo-as-one-to-many-relationship issue for years, and basically, I
don't see condos as one-to-many, they are one-to-one. Put a spatial
object (either a point, or a small polygon) on the map for each record
in your table.
