Community Association Governance Rules

N.J.A.C. 5:26-8

New Jersey Department of Community Affairs regulations (effective May 18, 2020) implementing the 2017 Radburn amendments to the Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act (PREDFDA), establishing detailed governance requirements for community associations across formation of the association (N.J.A.C. 5:26-8.1), association powers and responsibilities (8.2), administration and control including developer surrender of board control to owners (8.4), executive board elections (8.9), appointments, removals, and executive board vacancies (8.11), open meetings and minutes (8.12), amendments to the bylaws (8.13), and the complaints and penalties process administered by DCA (8.14). A February 23, 2024 Appellate Division decision invalidated several narrow subsections governing election and meeting procedures, but the subchapter and these provisions otherwise remain in effect.
