About Special Community Benefit Districts (SCBD)
Avalon Shores is designated as a Maryland Special Community Benefit District (SCBD) and does not operate under a traditional Homeowners Association (HOA) structure. Instead, community matters are overseen by The Avalon Shores Civic Association, Inc. (ASCA), governed by an elected Board of Directors, which must comply with § 4-7-101(d) of the Anne Arundel County Code.
The Board holds monthly Board meetings and quarterly Community Meetings open to all homeowners and adult residents.
