Estoppel Disclosure Workflow
13 standard items
CT
CommunityPay has not verified a state-specific statutory resale certificate regime in Connecticut. Disclosure follows a non-statutory estoppel workflow. The 13 items below reflect standard title company and lender expectations, not legal requirements specific to any particular association.
- Current periodic assessment amount and any unpaid or delinquent assessments
- Pending or approved special assessments
- Reserve fund balance and designated projects
- Most recent balance sheet and income/expense statement
- Current operating budget
- Insurance coverage provided for the benefit of owners
- Pending lawsuits, unsatisfied judgments, or threatened litigation
- Board composition, meeting frequency, and governance status
- Declaration, bylaws, and rules and regulations
- Capital expenditures approved or anticipated for current and next two fiscal years
- Transfer fees, move-in/move-out fees, or other charges upon sale
- Known violations of the governing documents or applicable codes
- Right of first refusal or other restraints on transfer
Industry incumbents (HomeWiseDocs, CondoCerts) charge residents $250–$400 per resale certificate.
Connecticut does not cap RC preparation fees by statute. With CommunityPay, the board issues the certificate directly from live ledger data — eliminating the third-party fee entirely. Residents typically save $250–$400 per closing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Connecticut HOA Law
How long does a Connecticut HOA have to deliver a resale certificate?
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. §47-261, a Connecticut association must deliver the resale certificate within 10 calendar days of a written request from the unit owner, prospective purchaser, or their representative. Missing the deadline carries statutory consequences — including, in many states, release of the buyer from any unpaid amounts the seller owed at the time of the request.
