Alabama HOA law guide.
Every Alabama statute that governs homeowners' and condominium associations — each one hosted in full on HOPB, with the official text and a plain-language guide. Alabama's coverage is date-based, so this index is also how you figure out which law applies to your community.
Two condominium acts, split by date.
Which condominium law applies turns on when the condominium was created: the 1964 act governs those created before January 1, 1991, and the 1991 Uniform Act governs those created on or after that date.
The law for planned communities.
Non-condominium residential HOAs have their own act — but only for communities created since 2016, or older ones that vote to opt in.
The code your association is organized under.
Almost every Alabama association is a nonprofit corporation — the HOA Act requires it — so this corporate code supplies the members, board, records, and meeting machinery.
Rights and protections for residents.
Alabama's fair-housing and disability-access laws bar housing discrimination and protect service animals — working alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
