Common Facilities

According to the Uniform Planned Community Act in PA

"Common Facilities" Any real estate within a planned community which is owned by the association or leased to the Association. The term does not include a unit.

So when does an association take over financial responsibilities for the Common Facilities real estate?
For example if a development has half their land undeveloped, at what point would the association take over responsibility for that land?

Does it officially start when the Association is turned over, when the Association receives the deeds or when that particular area is completed?

Sharon,

Normally the common areas are not turned over to the assn until the developer transitions and deeds over the common areas to the HOA. However, this procedure may be changed in developments that take many, many years to build out. I doubt the assn would ever take resp. of undeveloped land unless the developer gives the assn the land and I can't imagine that happening. If,after transition, the developer still owns some undeveloped land, the developer would be resp. for maintaining liab. ins on that undeveloped land.
