Maryland HOA services — questions, answered

Which statute governs HOAs in Maryland?+
Maryland Homeowners Association Act, Md. Real Prop. § 11B-101 et seq.. Governs HOA disclosure, governance, meetings, and assessment authority. Condominiums are covered separately by Maryland Condominium Act, Md. Real Prop. § 11-101 et seq.. Your own declaration and bylaws sit on top of it and may be stricter.
Are there reserve or bidding rules Maryland boards need to know?+
Md. Real Prop. § 11B-112.2: Requires HOAs to obtain a reserve study and to fund reserves in accordance with it, on the schedule set by statute.
Who licenses the contractors an association hires in Maryland?+
Maryland Home Improvement Commission — home improvement contractor licensing and salesperson registration. 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 Maryland?+
Maryland Department of Health and county health departments — public pool and spa permitting, operation, and inspection. That is why pool scope on HOAcrew includes water-quality records and operator credentials, not just cleaning visits.
Is HOAcrew available here?+
