A community association is a legal entity, whose members own the properties that share a community or a community facility. Property owners with property that holds a share in a community, for example a jetty, are automatically members of the association.

A community association is formed to manage communities, for example community facilities. The majority of the association can decide on the administration. If a community association isn't formed, the community (facility) is managed by so called co-owner management, where all the decisions must be made unanimously by the co-owners.

A community association is formed at a meeting where the members enact statutes and appoint a board. The meeting shall, if one of the members demands so, be held by the land surveying authority or by someone that the authority has appointed.
