Connecticut community association law
ConnecticutHOA & condo statutes
Connecticut's Common Interest Ownership Act (CIOA) governs nearly every condo, planned community, and co-op formed since 1984. It sets detailed resale-certificate, budget-ratification, and meeting requirements, and the state registers community association managers.
Connecticut requires a licensed community association manager
Unlike most states, Connecticut regulates the CAM profession. Managers are credentialed by the Connecticut Dept. of Consumer Protection as a Community Association Manager registration under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-450 et seq.. Boards should confirm their manager holds a current credential.
