LD 1132 Maine Senate · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Further Protect Low-Impact Landscaping

LD 1132 prohibits condominium associations or common ownership property rules from banning low-impact landscaping on areas owners have exclusive use of, including "limited common elements" (like patios or balconies). It also requires owners' written permission before pesticides can be applied within 50 feet of any unit or on shared landscaping areas. The bill directly affects condo and common ownership property residents in Maine, ensuring they can maintain environmentally friendly landscaping without restrictive rules. It creates clear, enforceable rules about pesticide use near homes, protecting both owner rights and property maintenance.
