I am unsure what you mean by "regulated".  There are disclosure laws they are required to follow, by law.  That said, many don't follow the laws and there is little that can be done about it.  I am in California.

    A manager can be a salaried employee; no license required.   However, if you advertise or hold yourself out to the public as being able to manage a community association, you must be licensed.

    Here is the   Florida Statute on Licensure of Community Association Managers and Management Firms

   See an attorney for an explanation; see an attorney for legal advice.

HOA management companies do have to have licensed brokers overseeing the HOA. However, individual owners can manage their own property. I'm not sure to which you are referring.

Association management companies need a business license. An accountant(CPA), and state property management credential which requires a  CA RE broker license. The maintenance lead will remove all realtors signs while keeping his relative sign there years around.

In CT you have to be licensed by the State to do a Property Managers job. First you go through an extensive vetting process that can take a year to complete & includes a background check by the FBI!

In California, I am not aware who would be the licensing agent for a company that offers professional HOA management. They would require a local business license. They would also be subject to the requirements of the Davis–Stirling Common Interest Development Act.

In Florida they must be licensed as a community association manger (CAM).

NOTE: That is for CONDO Associations (COAs) which are different from Homeowner Associations (HOAs).
