CAMICB, in conjunction with CAI, encourages and supports self-regulation of the community association management profession. Self-regulation of an industry is a group that exercises some degree of regulatory authority over their profession. CAMICB developed the CMCA certification to provide for self-regulation of the community management profession. The CMCA certification was created by leaders in the community association management profession, and it has the necessary components for a successful self-regulatory program – an accredited examination that measures the required knowledge and competency, strict standards of professional and ethical conduct, and a widely recognized professional certification.

The following states have passed laws and regulations governing the practice of community association management:
