Pennsylvania Uniform Condominium Act
The statutes that govern the creation, management, and sale of condominiums in Pennsylvania — every section of Title 68's Uniform Condominium Act, linked to the current text on the General Assembly's website.
The Uniform Condominium Act (UCA), 68 Pa. Cons. Stat. §§ 3101, et seq., governs the creation, alteration, termination, and management of condominiums in Pennsylvania.
The Act applies to condominiums created after its effective date (120 days from July 2, 1980). Certain provisions, however, apply to all condominiums regardless of when they were created, as long as the events involved occurred after the UCA became effective. See § 3102 (applicability of subpart). For related Pennsylvania statutes and agencies, see HOPB's Pennsylvania HOA laws & resources.
