加州 · 戴維斯-斯特林法 · 第4章
文件包裡必須有什麼，誰來付費，以及十天的期限。
共同利益開發項目（common interest development）中的每一次轉售都要經過本節的程序。本節列明十一份文件，給業主協會（HOA）十天時間，把協會可以收取的費用限制在實際成本以內，並禁止曾讓文件包變得昂貴的兩種做法：捆綁提供和扣留文件。

章 第4章，產權的所有與轉讓
收錄條文 8
條文核實 2026-11-03
十一項內容
《加州民法典》第4525條(a)把這項義務放在業主身上，而不是協會：賣方應當在產權轉讓或簽訂不動產買賣合約之前，在切實可行的範圍內儘早向潛在買方提供以下文件。
- (a)(1)全部管理文件——如果協會不是法人，還須提供一份由獲授權代表出具、說明這一點的書面聲明。
- (a)(2)如果年齡限制與民法典第51.3條不同，須提供一份聲明，說明該限制僅在第51.3條允許的範圍內可強制執行。
- (a)(3)依照第7節提供的最近一次年度披露文件。
- (a)(4)協會出具的真實書面聲明，載明當前的常規會費、特別會費和各項費用，以及該業主的產權尚有哪些未付款項。
- (a)(5)依照第5855條發出的、關於仍未解決的所稱違規行為的任何通知——提供該通知並不意味著協會放棄執行的權利。
- (a)(6)依照第6000條提出的建築缺陷初步清單，除非該事項已經和解且已遵守第6100條。
- (a)(7)依照第6100條提供的最新資料。
- (a)(8)會費或費用的任何已獲批准、但尚未到期應付的變更。
- (a)(9)如果管理文件禁止出租，須提供一份說明該禁令的聲明。
- (a)(10)如果買方提出要求，須提供已批准的過去12個月的董事會會議紀要，閉門會議除外。
- (a)(11)最近一次第5551條陽臺檢查的報告。
第(a)(9)項值得結合第4741條再看一遍。即使禁令本身已不再有效，披露義務依然存在：如果協會已登記備案的CC&Rs（契約、條件與限制）中仍有出租禁令，協會就既有一項不可強制執行的約定條款，又負有告知每一位買方該條款存在的法定義務。
十天，不得附加條件
民法典第4530條(a)(1)：收到書面請求後，協會應當在該請求寄出或送達之日起10天內，向業主——或業主授權的任何其他收件人——提供所請求的全部第4525條文件的副本。
文件包不得被扣作要挾
民法典第4530條(a)(3)：不得以任何理由扣留文件，也不得為交付附加任何條件，但支付(b)款授權的費用除外。有爭議的會費、尚未處理的違規、未歸還的鑰匙——在過戶託管（escrow）進行期間，這些都不是扣住文件不交的合法理由。
第4530條(a)(2)允許以電子方式保存這些文件並在協會網站上發佈；如果協會以電子方式保存，請求方還可選擇以電子傳送方式接收。
可以收取多少費用
民法典第4530條(b)(1)：協會可以向賣方收取合理費用，依據協會獲取、準備、複製和送達文件的實際成本計算。以電子方式送達而不提供紙本的，不得額外收費——這就排除了對PDF收取“便利費”的做法。
另有四項規定防止這筆費用被隱藏在交易之中：
- 先提供估價。§ 4530(b)(2)：應書面請求，協會須在處理請求之前，使用第4528條規定的表格，以書面或電子方式提供費用估價。
- 單獨開列帳單。§ 4530(b)(4)：這些費用應當與轉讓中的其他任何費用、罰款或會費相區分，單獨列明，並單獨開列帳單。
- 不得捆綁。§ 4530(b)(5)：第4525條未明確要求的文件不得納入披露內容，也禁止將其與其他交易文件捆綁提供。
- 逐項列明。§ 4530(b)(7)：在賣方交給買方的說明中，每份文件的費用須單獨逐項列明。
民法典第4530條(b)(6)以有利於買方的規定補全了這一環：賣方應當免費向買方提供其已持有的任何第4525條文件的現行副本。賣方抽屜裡已經有的文件，沒有理由再向協會購買。
取消訂單的問題由第4530條(b)(3)處理：如果下單方以書面形式取消訂單且尚未開展任何工作，或已完成的工作已經付費，則不收取取消費；如果尚未開展任何工作，須全額退款；並須部分退款，退還與未完成工作相對應的那部分費用。
表格本身
民法典第4528條規定了收費披露表格，字體不小於10磅，格式須與該條列出的樣式基本一致。表格載明物業、業主、第4525條文件的提供方，並將每項文件的價格單獨列為一行——表格中還有兩句話很容易被忽略，因為它們寫在表格裡，而不是在具有規範效力的條文中：賣方可以免費向買方提供其已持有的副本；以及賣方可以要求購買其中部分或全部文件，但不得被要求購買“全部”文件。
這是本站唯一一條兩個來源的差異超過一個詞的條文。上述兩段文字沒有出現在獨立發佈者的頁面上；而在官方資料庫中，2023年版和現行版都載有這兩段文字。這一差異已在下方條文處註明。
過戶費：一般禁止及兩項例外
民法典第4575條：除第4580條另有規定外，協會和社區服務組織均不得就產權或其他任何權益的轉讓，徵收或收取任何會費、罰款或費用——但協會變更記錄的實際成本，以及第4530條授權的金額除外。只允許這兩項收費，此外別無其他。
第4580條豁免了兩類範圍很窄、且都以特定時間為界的情形：一是2003年2月20日之前設立、其存在目的是作為開發的書面條件而資助或開展環境緩解工作、或恢復溼地或原生棲息地的實體；二是2004年1月1日之前設立並已收取過戶費的實體，前提是該實體自2006年起允許買方在轉讓時付款與不少於七年的分期付款計劃之間作出選擇。
違反本節會怎樣
民法典第4540條：故意違反本節規定的人，須向買方承擔實際損害賠償責任，並應當支付最高500美元的民事罰款；在追究該責任的訴訟中，勝訴方應獲判合理的律師費。
第4545條隨即用一句話限定了後果：本節的任何規定均不影響違反本節而轉讓的產權的效力。救濟方式是金錢賠償，而不是撤銷交易——因此，在過戶完成後發現缺少披露文件的買方，會提起訴訟，而不是解除買賣。
第4535條提醒，本節並不是全部義務：轉讓產權的業主還必須遵守民法典第1133條和第1134條。

(a)(1)A copy of all governing documents. If the association is not incorporated, this shall include a statement in writing from an authorized representative of the association that the association is not incorporated.
(a)(2)If there is a restriction in the governing documents limiting the occupancy, residency, or use of a separate interest on the basis of age in a manner different from that provided in Section 51.3, a statement that the restriction is only enforceable to the extent permitted by Section 51.3 and a statement specifying the applicable provisions of Section 51.3.
(a)(3)A copy of the most recent documents distributed pursuant to Article 7 (commencing with Section 5300) of Chapter 6.

(a)(7)A copy of the latest information provided for in Section 6100.
(a)(8)Any change in the association’s current regular and special assessments and fees which have been approved by the board, but have not become due and payable as of the date disclosure is provided pursuant to this subdivision.

來源不一致。 The Legislative Counsel's database and California Public Law differ, and the text here follows the official database. This section prescribes a statutory form, and two parts of it do not appear on the independent publisher's page: the sentence “A seller may request to purchase some or all of these documents, but shall not be required to purchase ALL of the documents listed on this form.” and the form line “Date Form Completed”. Both are present in the official database in the 2023 publication as well as the current one, so this is how that publisher renders the form rather than a recent amendment either source has missed. Eight citation lists also read “Sections” officially where that publisher prints “Section”.
