North Carolina Lawmakers Renew Push for HOA Reform Legislation
North Carolina lawmakers are once again advancing legislation aimed at reforming how homeowners associations operate across the state. The proposed bills focus on increased transparency, limits on fines and foreclosures, clearer budgeting practices, and restrictions on long-term management contracts without homeowner input.
Supporters argue the reforms would protect homeowners and encourage better governance, while critics caution that reduced flexibility could make it harder for associations to maintain infrastructure, respond to emergencies, and fund long-term capital projects.
For HOA boards, this renewed legislative effort underscores the importance of clear documentation, homeowner communication, and reserve planning. Changes in state law could directly impact how boards budget for drainage systems, storm repairs, and major common-area maintenance projects.
