HB 1174 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Homeowners' Associations Oversight Act.

This bill creates a new process for homeowners in North Carolina to file complaints about disputes with their homeowners associations, managed by the Department of Justice. Homeowners can submit complaints online, by phone, or mail, providing details about the dispute, the association, and any management companies involved. The Department will collect this information, notify the association to respond, and publish a searchable summary of complaints on its website while redacting personal data. The bill also requires the Department to submit annual reports to state committees detailing the number and nature of complaints, but explicitly prohibits the Department from creating new rules or acting as a judge in these disputes.

What changed between versions

Filed Edition 1 · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill text was reformatted to reflect a new session date and updated sponsor list, while the substantive content of the legislation remains largely unchanged. The only minor substantive edit removes the word 'transparency' from a list of executive board requirements, though the context suggests this is a formatting adjustment rather than a policy reversal.
TECHNICAL

The bill header was updated to reflect a new filing date (April 30, 2026) and expanded the list of primary sponsors to include Representatives Pike, Liu, and Iler.

The reference to the bill's internal tracking number was changed from 'DRH40687-NSa-22' to 'H1174-v-1'.

REQUIREMENT

The specific phrase 'Executive board transparency' was removed from a list of executive board duties, likely as a formatting correction rather than a policy change.
