Out-of-State Resources

For readers outside Arizona

BadHOA.com covers Arizona HOA law. If your community is in another state, different statutes apply. Below are starting points for two of the most common. These are independent pointers — the organizations and statutes named are not affiliated with BadHOA.com, and we don’t vouch for or control them.

California

Common interest developments — including most HOAs and condominiums — are governed by the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act, in the California Civil Code (beginning around § 4000). It covers meetings, records, elections, assessments, and dispute resolution (including internal dispute resolution and alternative dispute resolution requirements).

Look for the Davis-Stirling Act in the official California Legislative Information (leginfo.legislature.ca.gov). Confirm the current text; statutes change.

Florida

Florida separates the two: homeowners’ associations are governed by Chapter 720, Florida Statutes, and condominium associations by Chapter 718 (the Condominium Act). Cooperatives fall under Chapter 719. These cover records access, meetings, elections, fines, and estoppel/payoff certificates.

Read the current chapters at the Online Sunshine site (leg.state.fl.us). Confirm the current text; statutes change.
