Connecticut cohort opening
Common Elements for Connecticut community associations
Connecticut uses a Certificate of Registration rather than a formal license, with annual renewals — the tightest renewal cadence in Wave 1. CIOA covers communities formed 1984 and later; older condos remain under the pre-1984 Condominium Act.

What we’re building
Four products. One platform — built for Connecticut from day one.
The platform was architected with state as a first-class attribute on day one. Forum threads, RFPs, vendor profiles, and compliance obligations all scope to Connecticut so the people who serve Connecticut associations work in Connecticut’s statutory frame — not Florida’s.
The Common Area
The industry-wide forum where boards, managers, vendors, attorneys, and insurance pros actually talk shop. Public threads, member-only rooms, role-badged authors.
In Connecticut: Pre-1984 vs CIOA threads from Hartford, New Haven, and Stamford buildings.
The RFP marketplace
Post a request once. Verified vendors respond in structured fields. The Compare view aligns proposals to the same line items so boards decide apples-to-apples.
The vendor directory
Verified vendor profiles searchable by service line and service area. Credentials are part of the record — not a gut-feel referral.
In Connecticut: DCP Certificates of Registration verified against the consumer-protection roster.
The statute reference
State-specific statutory cadence with due dates, citations, and reminders — the same reference that already covers Florida 718.
In Connecticut: Two-statute scheme handled at the association level — newer buildings see CIOA, older condos see Chapter 825.
Connecticut association registry
