HOA services in Alabama

Alabama is one of many places communities run HOAcrew. The platform is available to communities nationwide — this page covers what service work looks like here.

Alabama’s association stock runs from Gulf Coast condo and beach communities to suburban subdivisions around Birmingham and Huntsville. Amenity sets are typically a pool, a clubhouse, and shared entry landscaping rather than large amenity campuses.

Alabama HOA services — questions, answered

Which statute governs HOAs in Alabama?+
Alabama Homeowners’ Association Act, Ala. Code § 35-20-1 et seq.. Governs formation, powers, assessments, and lien rights for Alabama homeowners associations. Condominiums are covered separately by Alabama Uniform Condominium Act, Ala. Code § 35-8A-101 et seq.. Your own declaration and bylaws sit on top of it and may be stricter.
Does Alabama set reserve or competitive-bidding requirements?+
Read Alabama Homeowners’ Association Act, Ala. Code § 35-20-1 et seq. alongside your declaration, bylaws, and any lender or insurer requirements — each of those can impose reserve funding or competitive bidding on your association, and statutes change. Confirm what applies to Alabama communities, and to yours specifically, with counsel.
Who licenses the contractors an association hires in Alabama?+
Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors — general contractors on commercial and larger residential work; the Home Builders Licensure Board covers residential builders. Every vendor’s insurance and trade credentials are collected, verified, and stored with their expiry dates, and held to a stated renewal window — 30 days for insurance, none for a competency certification. Once that window closes, the vendor cannot bid for or be awarded new work until it is current again.
Who regulates community pools in Alabama?+
Alabama Department of Public Health — public and semi-public swimming pools, including association pools. That is why pool scope on HOAcrew includes water-quality records and operator credentials, not just cleaning visits.
Is HOAcrew available here?+
Available to communities nationwide. Bring your own vendors anywhere; our vetted network is growing market by market.
Do you have vendors near me?+
Two ways it works. Invite the vendors you already use — they get credentialed and onboarded here, anywhere in the US. And where our vetted network has reached, additional vetted vendors can submit proposals too. Our network is growing market by market, so bringing your own vendor is always the fastest path.
