The Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (UCIOA)

The Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (UCIOA) is a model law designed to provide a consistent legal framework for the governance of common-interest communities, such as condominiums and homeowners’ associations. It outlines the rights and responsibilities of both the residents and the associations that manage shared properties. The UCIOA aims to promote transparency, fairness, and effective management by establishing rules for governance, financial management, and dispute resolution, ensuring that all owners have a say in community decisions and protecting their interests in shared spaces.
