Does Davis Stirling Act apply if there is no common real estate?

No, the Davis-Stirling Act does not apply to a development without common real estate because the Act governs common interest developments (CIDs), which by definition require ownership of a separate interest coupled with a shared interest in common area property. A development without any common area is not a CID and therefore not subject to the Act.

Definition of a CID: A common interest development is specifically defined as a development where ownership of a separate interest is combined with a shared interest in common areas.

Exemption for developments without common area: The Davis-Stirling Act explicitly states that it does not apply to a real property development that does not contain common areas.

Consequence: If there are no common areas, the development is not considered a CID under the Act, and its governing documents and the association's operations are not subject to the Act's requirements.
