Here are some basic resources for condominiums in Connecticut.

Common Interest Ownership Act

This statute, also known as “CIOA,” applies to common interest communities created on or after January 1, 1984. An annotated version can be found here: CIOA Annotated. Portions of it apply to communities created before then, as stated in the footnotes in the table of contents and in the parenthetical notes after relevant section numbers.

A comprehensive set of amendments were made to the Connecticut Common Interest Ownership Act in 2009. The amendments are based on the 2008 Amendments to the Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act or “UCIOA 3.0,” which were prepared by the Common Interest Ownership Committee of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws or “NCCUSL.” Portions of the amendments were effective upon enactment in 2009. The rest will become effective on July 1, 2010.
