Alaska HOA law guide.

Every Alaska statute that governs homeowners' and condominium associations — each one hosted in full on HOPB, with the official text and a plain-language guide. Which property act applies to your community depends on when it was created and what was recorded, so this index is also how you work out which law governs you.

Community associations

Two property acts, split by date and by choice.

The modern act governs essentially every common interest community — condominium, planned community, or cooperative — created after January 1, 1986, with a narrow carve-out for low-budget planned communities (§ 34.08.030). The older act is election-based: it reaches a property only where the owners opted in by recording a declaration, which in practice means Alaska's older condominiums. Note that some sections of the modern act reach older communities too.

Corporate code

The code your association is organized under.

Alaska does not require a particular form — an association may be a profit or nonprofit corporation, a trust, or a partnership (§ 34.08.310) — but incorporating as a nonprofit is the common choice, and this is the code that then supplies the day-to-day machinery.

Rights & protections

Protections for residents.

Alaska's civil rights law makes discrimination unlawful in the sale or rental of real property — and it defines real property to expressly include condominium and cooperative interests, so it reaches inside a community association.

Managers

The rules your manager works under.

If your board hires a professional manager, these are the standards that manager is held to — including a 10-day deadline to produce a resale certificate on written request. They bind the licensee, not the association.
