The CAM licensing requirement applies only to those who manage residential community associations known as CIRAs. CIRAs can be a lot, a home, mobile home, town home, villa, condominium, cooperative, timeshare or any other residential unit or residential development wherein membership is generally mandatory, members have the right to vote, and an assessment if unpaid can become a lien on an owner's property.
