Not all condo owners are thrilled with legislation passed that permits condo associations from sending them crucial documents by certified mail.

The General Assembly passed a law last year allowing management companies and HOA’s to send documents as regular mail to unit owners.

This is just one issue that we have received inquiries about from condo owners.

They question whether legislators sought input from some of the more than 200,000 condo owners or just from the lobbyists for the condo management industry.

Among other issues the CCOC has been contacted about:

1. Notice for Zoom meetings with incorrect phone number, meeting ID, and password
