Association Operations & Transition

We provide guidance to developers in operating associations throughout the developer control period to minimize areas of potential liability and avoid litigation and disruption.  We work with developer's appointees on the association's board of directors to ensure that they understand their responsibilities under the governing documents and to address the myriad of operational issues that can arise in the startup and administration of the association during the developer control period, including:

• management and service contracts;

• architectural control and enforcement of design standards;

• association budgeting and assessment;

• maintenance and repair of common areas;

• association insurance;

• rulemaking;

• enforcement of covenants and rules;

• transition from developer to owner control; and

• monitoring and verification requirements for age-qualified communities.

Our goal is to guide the developer in administering the association in a manner consistent with the governing documents and state law to facilitate the smooth and efficient operation of the association both during developer control and thereafter.
