The question is, why can’t any state government in the USA create a similar online consumer resource? While Saskatchewan reportedly now has about 1600 Condo corporations, at least 30 states in the US have 2,000 or more Associations. According to Community Associations Institute’s most recent 2014 statistical estimates, totals for the top five states with the greatest number of Association-Governed Communities are:
- Florida 47,100
- California 43,275
- Texas 19,400
- Illinois 18,250
- North Carolina 13,600
Those totals include Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and Cooperatives, but 42-45% represent Condo Associations. With those kinds of numbers, nearly every state in the nation ought to have online resources for Condo and Homeowners’ Associations, as well as Cooperatives.
My Canadian readers can let me know what they think about this new Condo information system.
