Which term describes a state statute that applies only to one or more types of community associations?

• A. specific
• B. general
• C. uniform
• D. complex

Answer: (A)

A state statute that applies only to one or more types of community associations is described as specific. This term signals targeted applicability—the law is crafted to fit the unique needs and structures of particular association types, such as condominiums or HOAs, rather than applying to every kind of association. This focused scope allows rules to address issues that are particular to those formats, like unit ownership and shared elements, governance structures, and voting rules that differ from other association types. General statutes would apply broadly to all associations, uniform statutes imply the same rules across contexts, and complex isn’t the term used to describe the scope of a statute.
