Hiring Employees vs Independent Contractors: Here's What to Know

HOA | Condo Board Responsibilities and Education, HOA | Condo Vendors

Private communities must hire vendors to perform services such as snow removal, street repair, mowing, and tree trimming—a task that is often delegated to a homeowners association management company.
