Cohousing-L Mailing List: Incorporation questions

[Jeff Kaufman (aista]

Good evening,

I'm working with a group trying to start up cohousing in Austin, Texas, and I 
was looking at incorporation issues.  My understanding is that most cohousing 
groups in the United States have incorporated either as condominiums or PUDs.  
Are there any advantages to either?  

We are still somewhat in the embryonic phase with construction over two years 
down the road.  We are, however, at the point where we'll be collecting and 
spending money for studies, designs, etc.  Should we incorporate as an 
Association in the meantime to deal with financial issues, or should we look 
into incorporating as a condo/PUD immediately? 

Your input would be greatly appreciated.
