Cosponsored with the Common Interest Community Substantive Committee of the Virginia State Bar Real Property Section

Collaborate with experienced attorneys for a detailed and comprehensive overview of the creation and operation of Common Interest Communities, more commonly known as Community Associations.

Community Association law is not derived from any one source. Rather, such law requires a knowledge of Virginia Code, some, but not all, of which is unique to Community Associations; of Virginia common law on contracts; of federal law that may supersede the preceding sources; of Virginia Administrative Code that may supplement Community Association law; and other authorities such as a municipality’s ordinances or ombudsman’s determinations that are overseen by Virginia’s Common Interest Community Board.

The substance of Community Association law similarly can be both unique and wide reaching to include contract interpretation, corporate governance, debt collection, and equitable causes of action such as injunctive relief. Rarely will Community Association law be applied in the same way to any two or more legal issues.
