Advocacy
During the 2009 Virginia General Assembly Session, several legislative changes were made impacting the real estate industry including mandatory criminal background checks for new real estate license applicants; exemption of auction properties from certain Property Owners' Association (POA) Act requirements; disclosure of storm water detention facilities; and clarification that local governments do not have the authority to ban non-conventional septic
systems. The Virginia Association of REALTORĀ® has released a
summary and video to help members understand these and other changes and ensure compliance with laws effective July 1, 2009. A more
comprehensive list of housing-related legislation is also available.
