Ohio

This is a list of the 2026 Federal Representatives for the Ohio to the US Congress. If contacting these people we would be talking about creating Federal laws to control HOA Boards. If you would like to do this please contact me first so we can discuss a plan. Patrick@PK80.com

Ohio’s 15 Congressional Districts

  District#                Party            Phone#               Website

Interesting fact: all 15 put you through a filter to see if you live in their district. They wouldn't want to waste any of their valuable time. The main legislative site for the State of Ohio is https://ohio.gov/government

We need someone to create lists, ideally in Excel but Word would be OK, with State Legislator's name, email address, phone number, R or D, District #, committee if in committee that handles HOAs.

Almost all in the last few years have gone through the House Civil Justice Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee, so best to start with contacting the legislators in those committees. House Civil Justice Committee

Property rights

-Civil disputes

-Governance and contracts

-Liens, fines, enforcement

-Planned community statutes (ORC 5312)

-Condo law (ORC 5311)

House Local Government Committee

-Local government authority over HOAs

-Public records

-County recorder requirements

-Zoning interactions with HOAs

House Financial Institutions & Real Estate Committee

Used when the bill touches:

-Real‑estate transactions

-Disclosure requirements

-Title issues

-Transfer fees

-HOA resale certificates

Senate Judiciary Committee

This is the Senate counterpart to House Civil Justice.

It handles:

-Civil law

-Property rights

-HOA enforcement mechanisms

-Governance and statutory changes

-Most HOA bills go here after passing the House.

Senate Local Government Committee

Used for:

-County recorder issues

-Local government interactions

-Zoning or land‑use bills that intersect with HOAs

-Senate Community Revitalization Committee (less common)

Occasionally used when:

-HOAs intersect with housing affordability

-Neighborhood revitalization

-Blight or abandoned property issues

-Rare, but it has happened.

🟩 Special Note: Ohio HOA Law Is Split Between Two Statutes

This determines which committee gets the bill:

ORC 5311 – Condominiums

ORC 5312 – Planned Communities (HOAs)

Bills modifying either statute almost always go to Civil Justice (House) or Judiciary (Senate).
