An Act amending Title 68 (Real and Personal Property) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in real property, providing for common interest communities.

SB 963 establishes rules for how Pennsylvania municipalities provide or reimburse common interest communities (like condominiums, cooperatives, and planned communities) for municipal services. It requires municipalities to either provide the same services to these communities as they do to regular homes (e.g., waste collection, snow removal, street lighting, and emergency services) or reimburse the communities for their actual costs. Communities and municipalities must negotiate a written agreement, and if they cannot agree, they must use compulsory arbitration to resolve disputes. This bill directly affects homeowners in common interest communities and the municipalities that provide services to them across Pennsylvania.
