Common Interest Community Board | Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation.
Many associations have communication channels in place so that homeowners can talk to the board or the community manager about any issues. However, if you wish to file a complaint against your HOA, you can do so with the Office of the Common Interest Community Ombudsman.
In these situations, you can complain directly to this office by filing the CIC Complaint Form, which you can find under the “Forms and Applications” tab here: .dpor.virginia/cic-ombudsman.
You can find the required CIC Complaint Form under the “Forms and Applications” tab here: .dpor.virginia/cic- ombudsman. Once we receive the form, we will contact the association and require it to respond to the submitted complaint in a limited timeframe.
Who governs homeowners associations in Virginia? HOAs are subject to a number of state, federal, and local laws and are governed by a common interest community board that creates and enforces certain rules and regulations contained in the HOA's governing documents.
Typically, an HOA violation letter will include information regarding the offense, a declaration stating the HOA laws or rules that were violated, a compliance date, suggestions on how to solve the problem, a fine amount, and a contact person for questions or concerns.
Open Meetings Can HOA board members meet in private? In general, they can't, and there are only a few rare instances when they can. Most states have open meeting acts or sunshine laws, including NC, SC, TN, and VA.
The VA inium Act sets forth the requirements for creating a inium, including the minimum number of units, the percentage of units that must be owner-occupied, and the minimum amount of common area. The Act also sets forth the rights and responsibilities of inium associations and unit owners.
