Below is a listing of highlighted links to several websites that contain valuable information relating to community associations. Please select the information link you wish to view.
The California Department of Real Estate's website has an excellent publication entitled "Living in a California Common Interest Development". This is a primer for everyone who buys a condominium or home in a gated community. It answers common questions such as:
"What are CC&R's and Bylaws?"
"What are the responsibilities of the Board of Directors?"
"How are Board Members elected?"
This link takes you to the website containing the complete California Civil Code. You can scroll through and select sections 1350-1378 for the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act.
