Legal Compliance in Community Schemes: Avoiding Costly Pitfalls

Legal compliance isn’t just a checkbox – it’s the foundation of a well-run community scheme. Whether you’re managing a Sectional Title or HOA, staying on top of legislation like the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act and the Community Schemes Ombud Service Act is non-negotiable.

Common compliance gaps we see include:

  • Failure to conduct regular maintenance or maintain proper records
  • Late or missing CSOS levy submissions
  • Unlawful Scheme Executive decisions or AGM irregularities
  • Non-compliant financial audits or budgets

These may seem minor, but they can lead to serious financial penalties, legal disputes, or even personal liability for Scheme Executives.

At ANGOR, we support Scheme Executives by providing expert guidance and practical tools to help them meet their legal obligations.

Our management service includes proactive assistance and advice to navigate compliance requirements with confidence.
