Charleston Community Association Attorneys
Helping Community Associations and Homeowners Associations in Charleston, Summerville, and Beyond
Community Associations, or “HOAs” as they are sometimes called, come in all shapes and all sizes, ranging from large condominium regimes and multi-phase developments to townhome communities and small homeowner’s associations with just a handful of homes. Here along the coast, many marinas actually operate as “dockominiums.” These days, properties are increasingly being developed as organized communities that are subject to numerous and often complex covenants, conditions, and restrictions, in addition to rules and regulations. Understanding and enforcing an association’s restrictive covenants and bylaws, in addition to the statutory laws that apply, can be overwhelming for a board of directors and homeowners alike, and mistakes can lead to costly lawsuits. We are here to help. Over the years, Thurmond Kirchner & Timbes, P.A. has had the privilege of delivering high quality and cost-effective representation to community associations along the South Carolina coast and elsewhere.
