Communal Property Association Constitution
R1 199
Create a constitution for a communal property association to hold, manage, use, and administer communal property according to agreed community rules.
A Communal Property Association Constitution is used where a community wishes to hold and manage property jointly through a statutory association. It records membership, governance, committee powers, land use, benefit-sharing, meetings, records, dispute resolution, and accountability.
South African legal context (2026 checklist)
A CPA constitution must comply with the Communal Property Associations Act and should be prepared with care because it governs community property rights and internal governance. Membership, land-use rights, committee accountability, dispute resolution, and benefit distribution should be clear and transparent.
