Plain Language Summary

This bill requires the North Carolina Department of Justice to collect and track complaints from homeowners association members about disputes with their associations, publish complaint data online, and submit annual reports to the General Assembly. The Department will not resolve disputes but will gather information to identify trends in HOA complaints across the state.

Arguments in Favor

• •Supporters argue this bill provides transparency and accountability for homeowners associations by creating a centralized system to track complaints and identify problem areas.
• •The public data could help policymakers understand common HOA disputes and protect homeowners from unfair practices, while the $100,000 funding ensures proper implementation without burdening existing state resources.

Arguments Against

• •Opponents may argue the bill creates additional government bureaucracy and costs without actually resolving disputes, potentially duplicating existing court remedies available to homeowners.
• •Some may also be concerned that the complaint tracking system could burden associations and management companies with administrative requirements, or that publicizing complaint summaries could unfairly stigmatize associations even before complaints are verified or resolved.
