What is a Condominium Association?

    Condominium Associations are non-profit corporations typically required by the municipality and created by the community developer/builder.

    The volunteer Board of an Association has a fiduciary duty to the homeowners in the community to ensure that the governing documents of the community are adhered to by the homeowners. Many of those voluntary Boards hire professional community management companies to assist them.

What is a Community Management Company?
