Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (UCIOA)

The Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (UCIOA) is a model law designed to regulate communities where homeowners share ownership of common areas, such as condominiums or planned developments. It establishes clear guidelines for the rights and responsibilities of both individual owners and community associations. The act aims to promote transparency, fairness, and effective governance in these communities, covering issues like the management of common expenses, voting procedures, and the enforcement of rules. By providing a standardized framework, the UCIOA helps ensure consistency and protection for residents living in such shared environments.
