Rapid growth around Charlotte and the Triangle produced a young, amenity-rich association stock. North Carolina is one of the few states with dedicated landscape and irrigation contractor licensure, which matters when vetting vendors.

North Carolina HOA services — questions, answered

Which statute governs HOAs in North Carolina?+
North Carolina Planned Community Act, N.C.G.S. Ch. 47F. Governs planned communities created after 1999, including assessments, meetings, and enforcement. Condominiums are covered separately by North Carolina Condominium Act, N.C.G.S. Ch. 47C. Your own declaration and bylaws sit on top of it and may be stricter.
Does North Carolina set reserve or competitive-bidding requirements?+
Read North Carolina Planned Community Act, N.C.G.S. Ch. 47F 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 North Carolina communities, and to yours specifically, with counsel.
Who licenses the contractors an association hires in North Carolina?+
North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors, with separate boards for landscape and irrigation contractors — general contracting above statutory thresholds, plus dedicated landscape and irrigation contractor licensure. 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 North Carolina?+
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and county health departments — public swimming pool 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?+
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.
