What is the minimum number of units a community must have for a CAM license to be required?

A Community Association Manager (CAM) license becomes necessary when managing a community that has a minimum threshold of units. Specifically, a community must consist of at least ten or more units for the CAM license to be mandated. The intent behind this requirement is to ensure that management within these communities is conducted by individuals who are knowledgeable about the relevant laws, rules, and operational practices necessary for effective community governance and administration.

In communities with fewer than ten units, the regulatory framework does not necessitate a licensed manager, as these smaller associations might function more effectively with informal management structures or volunteer leadership. Hence, the minimum of ten units serves as a guideline to help protect the interests of homeowners in larger associations, ensuring they receive professional management services.
