HOAs sometimes route work to companies tied to the board or manager, and layer on fees. This bill addresses HOA fees, including fees paid to parties related to the association's insiders — a conflict-of-interest and cost issue for owners.
In short: Addresses HOA fees, including fees paid to parties related to the manager/board.
Signed into law (Ch. 131) Pro-homeowner
Prohibits an association from charging a fee related to transferring property between specified parties.
For homeowners: Pro-homeowner and now law (Ch. 131): it prohibits associations from charging a transfer fee where title passes for nominal or no consideration, such as into a family trust or between relatives. It preserves only genuine service fees already authorized to manage the property, so it kills a specific unearned charge without gutting legitimate management costs.
