HOA & Condo Rule Watch

Why this is recommended

A reserve study deadline that triggers a $15,000 special assessment, a new law capping fines, or a lending eligibility change that makes a unit unsellable each matters more than the fee.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The 75 million Americans who live in an HOA or condo association and pay an average of $300 a month in dues.

When it runs

State HOA laws take effect January 1 and July 1, condo reserve study and inspection deadlines fall on fixed dates, and special assessments are voted at annual meetings

Scope

State legislatures and community association statutes; Florida SB 4-D and milestone inspection rules; Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac condo project standards; Community Associations Institute; state court rulings on HOA powers; HUD and FHA condo approval changes

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

State HOA and condo law changes on fees, fines, foreclosure, reserves, inspections and records access, condo structural inspection and reserve funding deadlines, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac condo lending eligibility changes, HOA rules on solar, EV charging, rentals and flags, special assessment trends, and court rulings on HOA authority, with the state and the rule first.

Track HOA and condo association rules for US owners. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: state law changes on HOA fees, fines, foreclosure powers, reserve requirements, records access, board elections and rental restrictions with effective dates; condo structural inspection and reserve study deadlines, especially under Florida SB 4-D and similar laws in other states; Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA and VA condo project eligibility changes; state rules on HOA authority over solar panels, EV charging, flags, gardens and home businesses; court rulings on HOA powers; and documented special assessment trends with amounts. Prefer legislative, GSE, HUD, court and Community Associations Institute sources; ignore individual dispute stories. Put the state and the rule first in the title. Use high severity for a compliance deadline within 60 days, a lending eligibility change, or a law taking effect within 30 days. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, the deadline, what owners should ask their board, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
