Davis-Stirling Act & California HOA Compliance for Ojai Associations
Ojai associations are governed by the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act (California Civil Code §4000 et seq.). Ojai’s distinctive valley setting and hillside communities carry fire zone vegetation management obligations under Civil Code §4725 — Ventura County Fire Department brush clearance requirements that Ojai’s hillside and rural-edge communities must maintain. Reserve fund planning under Civil Code §5550 for Ojai’s distinctive properties must reflect the unique replacement costs of a community with significant architectural and agricultural heritage.
