SB405 Tracker: Tennessee's Proposed Homeowners Association Act

SB405 Tracker: What Happened to Tennessee's Proposed Homeowners Association Act Last updated: October 27, 2026. This page is updated as Tennessee HOA legislation moves. Informational only, not legal advice. If you've searched "Tennessee SB405 HOA," you've probably seen sites say lawmakers "are considering" it. They aren't. SB405, the proposed Tennessee Homeowners Association Act, stalled in 2016 and was never enacted. As of the end of the 2026 session, Tennessee still has no comprehensive HOA statute for non-condo communities. Here's the current status, how we got here, and what actually governs Tennessee HOAs today.

Tennessee Condo Records: The 2008 Condo Act vs. the Horizontal Property Act

Tennessee has two condominium statutes, and which one your association follows starts with a single date: January 1, 2009. Condos created before then grew up under the Horizontal Property Act (Tenn. Code Ann. Title 66, Chapter 27, Part 1). Condos created after it fall under the Condominium Act of 2008 (Parts 2 through 5 of the same chapter). For records, the split matters, though not as cleanly as most summaries suggest. The 2008 Act deliberately reaches back and applies its records rule to older condos too. Here's how the two laws fit together, and what a board should actually do.

Does Tennessee Have an HOA Law? What Actually Governs Your Association

Tennessee has no single, comprehensive homeowners' association act. There is no Volunteer State equivalent of Florida's Chapter 720, Texas's Chapter 209, or California's Davis-Stirling Act. If you are a board member searching for "the Tennessee HOA law" so you can look up your notice period or your fine cap, you will not find one, because it does not exist. What Tennessee has instead is a layered set of sources, and which ones apply to your community depends almost entirely on one question: is your community a condominium or not? Most of the confusion in online guidance comes from writers who never ask that question, then quote condominium statutes at single-family boards who are not covered by them. Here is the actual framework.
