Community Association Legislative Resource Center
Connecting policymakers with trusted information on the issues shaping community association governance.
More than 78.1 million Americans reside in homeowners associations, condominiums, housing cooperatives, and other planned communities. All of these communities – more than 373,000 nationally – share a few essential goals – preserving the nature and character of the community, providing services and amenities to residents, protecting property values, and meeting the established expectations of owners.
Community associations are governed by a state-level statutory framework that control how associations are developed, governed, and managed.
