Question: I would like to order three hard copies of the packet or certificate. Will I be charged for the third one?

Answer: For CIC managed HOAs, the first two hard copies are included in the initial fee. The association may only charge $25 for each additional hard copy requested. For certificates, this fee structure applies for both CIC and non-CIC managed associations.

For non-CIC managed HOAs, the statute is less clear. The maximum fee that may be charged for packets is $100. The statute does not address fees for additional copies. However, the statute does provide that if requested in electronic format, the seller may designate up to two additional recipients to receive the packet in electronic format at no additional charge.
