West Virginia HOA law guide.
Every West Virginia statute that governs homeowners' and condominium associations — each one hosted in full on HOPB, with the official text and a plain-language guide. West Virginia runs a modern common-interest act over an older, opt-in condominium law, the nonprofit corporate code your association is organized under, and the state's fair-housing protections, so this index is how the pieces fit together.
West Virginia's modern HOA law.
The Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act is West Virginia's comprehensive law for community associations — it governs communities created after July 1, 1986, with carve-outs for small and limited-expense communities and a limited subset for older ones.
The older, opt-in condominium law.
West Virginia's original condominium statute is opt-in — a property becomes subject to it by recording a declaration electing in. Since UCIOA took effect in 1986, it chiefly governs older, pre-1986 condominiums.
The code your association is organized under.
Most West Virginia associations are nonprofit corporations. This is the corporate machinery that sits alongside the community and property law — members, the board, records, and amendments.
Rights and protections for residents.
West Virginia's fair-housing law bars housing discrimination, requires reasonable accommodations and modifications — including for assistance animals — and is enforced by the West Virginia Human Rights Commission.
