Ohio Condominium Property Act (Ohio Rev. Code Chapter 5311) & Ohio Planned Community Law (Ohio Rev. Code Chapter 5312), full text. This is the law your board answers to — read it yourself, then use the owner guides to see what it means in practice.
Governs property submitted to the condominium form of ownership in Ohio under Revised Code Chapter 5311. Covers definitions, powers and duties of the unit owners association board of directors, association records and the developer turnover of records, the continuing lien for common expenses (foreclosed judicially in the same manner as a mortgage), and compliance and enforcement of the declaration, bylaws, and rules. A condominium under Chapter 5311 is expressly NOT a planned community under Chapter 5312.

Governs Ohio planned communities -- communities of individual lots whose deed, common plan, or declaration requires owners to belong to an owners association or support common property and facilities (Ohio Rev.

Covers definitions, powers and duties of the owners association, examination of books and records, maintenance and repair of common elements, common expense liability and assessments, individual lot assessments and the enforcement-assessment hearing process, and the assessment lien (foreclosed judicially in the same manner as a mortgage). A condominium property under Chapter 5311 is expressly NOT a planned community.

Reading the statute is the first step; it isn't advice about your own dispute. Tell us what's going on and we'll pass your request on to an independent HOA or condo attorney.
