When does control typically pass to homeowners in developments with more than 1,000 units?

In developments with more than 1,000 units, control of the association typically passes to the homeowners when 90% of the units have been conveyed. This transition is significant as it marks a point where the developers relinquish their authority over the management and decision-making processes of the community, entrusting that power to the homeowners who will be more directly affected by the decisions made.

This step helps ensure that the interests of the residents are prioritized, as they will be the ones living in the community long-term. The transition at 90% is structured to provide a clear point of accountability and governance shifting from the developers, who may have different priorities than the residents, to the homeowners themselves, empowering them to take control of their community's direction and management.

Other options may suggest different percentages for transition, but they do not accurately reflect the established norm for communities of this size. For example, while a certain percentage of conveyed units might provide some influence to homeowners in smaller developments, it is at the 90% threshold for larger ones that full homeowner control is recognized.
