California has an abundance of good weather, movie stars, celebrities, social media influencers, and many of the most expensive homes in America. It also has the most “common interest development” residents of any state in the nation. These residents live in homeowner associations (HOAs) and planned communities (PCs), and they account for roughly 35% of the state’s population. In fact, as of 2022, there were almost 50,000 HOAs and PCs throughout the state with a total population of just under 15 million residents.

Every one of these HOAs and PCs is governed by the Davis-Stirling Act, adopted in 1985 and codified in Civil Code Sections 4000 through 6150. The act brought stability to the governance of millions of Californians living in and served by HOAs and PCs. It has been updated several times over the years, most recently in 2014, when it underwent a substantial reorganization with the advice and counsel of the California Law Revision Commission.
