Your answer depends on who owns the sockets.

If the sockets are available in a common-area, open garage area, and the association pays for the electricity, they may be able to limit your use.

If the sockets are in your attached garage and you pay the electricity, the association may not be able to limit your use.

If you are charging an electric vehicle, the consumption of electricity can be much greater than average. It is reasonable that the association would limit your access to this utility, given that charging a car could be considered excessive, and the utility is paid by all owners.

You may be able to work with your association to establish a charging station in an open garage area, where you alone can be made responsible for the expense.

Can a condo association limit use of electricity in a garage?

Your answer depends on who pays the electric bill. Most governing documents and most state condominium laws specify that 'unmetered utilities' be assessed (paid for) according to use. If you pay the bill in your attached garage, the association cannot limit your use. If you park in a common area, open garage area in an assigned slot, and the association pays the electric bill, they may be able to limit your electric use. Best practices dictate that you work with your association to install a sub-meter so that you can pay your own electric bill according to your use of the utility in the garage.

What qualification do you need to be a garage owner?

Since you chose '...associations' as your category, one must assume that you want to own a garage that is part of a condominium, a co-op or a home owners association. Unless the association specifically sells garages as primary investment or ownership options -- this will be clearly stated in the governing documents -- ownership of a garage usually goes along with unit ownership. Read the governing documents to more fully understand the qualifications required to own a garage.


Who owns the garage?

The ownership of a garage typically depends on its location and the property it is attached to. If it's a standalone structure, it may be owned by an individual or a business. In cases where the garage is part of a residential property, the homeowner usually owns it. Additionally, if it's located in a shared or leased space, the ownership may belong to a property management company or a condominium association.


Is a garage door common property in a condominium townhouse with a built-in drive under garage?

Read your governing documents to determine who owns the door, who is responsible for maintaining it and how maintenance and access are defined. In this case, your garage, its door, overhead lights and fan, attic space, cement pad and so forth may be defined as 'limited common area' that is owned by the association in common with all other owners, but dedicated to fewer than all the owners. In this case, as well, since you are the only owner who 'uses' the garage door, the association may repair or replace it and charge your account.
