501 HOA & condo management companies in California.
283 focus on homeowners associations and condominiums. California's Business and Professions Code distinguishes professional certification as a common interest development manager from government licensing. Sections 11502–11505 govern the certified title and related disclosures, and the definition of a certified manager excludes a management firm. The Davis–Stirling Common Interest Development Act governs residential common interest developments. Secretary of State business-entity filings are public records, separate from a manager's professional certification.

How many HOA management companies are there in California? 501 management companies with a California office are listed here, 283 of which focus on HOA and condominium communities. 25 counties have enough listings for their own comparison page.
Is California's certified community manager designation a government-issued CAM license?

The designation is distinct from a company's business-entity filing.
