The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and Homeowner Assocoations
Homeowner Associations need to be held to the Corporate Transparency Act to protect homeowners from abusive, illegal, and criminal behavior. This page contains information for understanding the CTA and what it does, as well as resources for advocating to hold HOAs to comply with it.
In fairness, I have also added CAI's response to the CTA
and their argument for exempting HOAs from it.
UPDATE 11/2/2024: United States District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff
denied CAI's motion for a preliminary injunction. See the third section below for more info and links.

Resources to Advocate to Hold HOAs to the CTA
As always, contact your local legislators and ask them to join you in demanding that the CTA apply to HOAs and that they be required to comply.
Sign This Petition to require that HOAs be included in CTA compliance.
