This article will compare and contrast Kentucky law and Ohio law pertaining to planned communities. Ohio Planned Community Law (§§ 5312.01 – 5312.16) (the “Ohio Act”) (the Kentucky Act and Ohio Act are collectively referred to as the “Acts”) took effect on September 10, 2010 and has thus been in existence in longer than the Kentucky Act.

This is the second article in a series on Kentucky’s Planned Communities statute (KRS §§ 381.785 – 381.801) (the “Act”), which provides guidance to developers in the greater Cincinnati area.

Kentucky’s Planned Communities statute (KRS §§ 381.785 – 381.801) (the “Act”) took effect on June 29, 2023.
