The rules where you are

What governs a Kentucky association

Every link below goes to the source, not to us. Read it yourself before you rely on it.

Primary association statute

Kentucky Condominium Act, KRS § 381.9101 et seq.

The state’s common-interest statute; planned communities otherwise rely on the recorded declaration.

Read the code text

Contractor licensing

Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction for the trades, with local general-contractor registration

Kentucky licenses electrical, HVAC, and plumbing trades at state level; general contracting is licensed locally.

Pool regulation

Kentucky Department for Public Health and local health departments

Public swimming pool permitting and inspection.

This is a starting point, not legal advice. Statutes are amended, and your declaration and bylaws may impose stricter requirements than the state does — verify against the current code and your association’s counsel before acting.

The season here

What the year looks like

Humid summers and a long shoulder season keep turf and pool schedules busy from April through October. Ice storms are the winter event that generates emergency work.

Kentucky HOA services — questions, answered

Which statute governs HOAs in Kentucky?+
Kentucky Condominium Act, KRS § 381.9101 et seq.. The state’s common-interest statute; planned communities otherwise rely on the recorded declaration. Your own declaration and bylaws sit on top of it and may be stricter.
Does Kentucky set reserve or competitive-bidding requirements?+
Read Kentucky Condominium Act, KRS § 381.9101 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 Kentucky communities, and to yours specifically, with counsel.
Who licenses the contractors an association hires in Kentucky?+
Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction for the trades, with local general-contractor registration — Kentucky licenses electrical, HVAC, and plumbing trades at state level; general contracting is licensed locally. 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 Kentucky?+
Kentucky Department for Public Health and local health departments — public swimming pool permitting and inspection. 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.
