The Common Interest Community Association Liaison
The Community Association Liaison established by the 2001 General Assembly serves as an information source (″point of contact″) on issues relating to the governance, administration and operation of common interest communities. ″Common interest communities″ are developments that share property owned, leased or required by a declaration to be maintained or operated by an owners´ association for the use of its members and designated as common area in the declaration.
In order to assist those who live in, operate, or are interested in common interest communities, the Community Association Liaison is allowed to give non-binding interpretations of laws or regulations governing such communities. Specifically, the Liaison will look at the Property Owner´s Association Act and the Condominium Act.
The Liaison's duties also include the following:
-
Administering the requirements of the Common Interest Community Management Information Fund (CICMIF or "Fund"), as outlined in 55-530(C) of the Code of Virginia
-
Processing association annual reports. The filing fee for the reports is used to finance the Fund; Fund Regulations
-
Identifying associations throughout the Commonwealth that should be registered with the Board; and
-
Providing information about alternative dispute resolution services to common interest community owners and boards.
