Connecticut's CIOA limits what an association may ban. Under § 47-261b, an association may not prohibit the state flag or political/association signs, must keep U.S.-flag rules consistent with federal law, and in non-condominium communities may not prohibit a rooftop solar power system on an owner's own roof.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-261b protects several owner displays. The association “may not prohibit display, on a unit or on a limited common element adjoining a unit, of the flag of this state, or signs regarding candidates for public or association office or ballot questions,” though it may regulate time, place, size, number and manner. Rules on the U.S. flag must be “consistent with federal law.” For solar, in a community that is not a condominium or cooperative, the association “may not adopt or enforce any rules that would have the effect of prohibiting any unit owner from installing a solar power generating system on the roof of such owner's unit,” if the roof is not shared—though reasonable size, installation and maintenance rules are allowed.
No specific statutory penalty—a rule that violates these protections is unenforceable; an aggrieved owner may seek a declaratory ruling or injunction and may recover costs under CIOA's general enforcement provisions.
