Jersey City, NJ HOA Rules: Board Procedures (2026)

Condominium boards in Jersey City are governed by the NJ Condominium Act (N.J.S.A. 46:8B-1 et seq.), which requires an elected board of directors, annual meetings, written notice to all unit owners at least 10 days in advance, and a quorum (typically one-third of unit owners unless bylaws specify otherwise). Boards must keep detailed minutes of all meetings and make them available to unit owners on request. Planned real estate developments (homeowner associations for townhouses, single-family subdivisions) fall under the Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act (N.J.S.A. 45:22A-21 et seq.) and PREDFDA regulations (N.J.A.C. 5:26). Under the 2017 Radburn Act amendments (N.J.S.A. 45:22A-45 et seq.), NJ associations must hold open board meetings (with limited executive session exceptions), allow unit owners to comment, and provide electronic notice options. Unit owners have the right to inspect association records and financial statements. The Jersey City Division of Housing Preservation does not regulate HOA internal procedures but does enforce the municipal code against common-area violations.
