Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	16. Stockholders’ Equity The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 100.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 50.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, there were 33.8 million and 33.4 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. On May 10, 2017, our stockholders approved the adoption of the Century Communities, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (which we refer to as our “2017 Incentive Plan”), which replaced our First Amended & Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan.  We had reserved a total of 1.8 million shares of our common stock for issuance under our First Amended & Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which approximately 0.6 million shares rolled over into the 2017 Incentive Plan when it became effective. On May 8, 2019, our stockholders approved the Century Communities, Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (which we refer to as our “Amended 2017 Incentive Plan”), which increased the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Incentive Plan by an additional 1.6 million shares. We issued 0.7 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock related to the vesting of RSUs and stock awards during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 0.7 million shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the Amended 2017 Incentive Plan.   On November 27, 2019, we entered into a Distribution Agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Fifth Third Securities, Inc. (which we refer to as the “Distribution Agreement”), as sales agents pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million from time to time through any of the sales agents party thereto in “at-the-market” offerings, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Distribution Agreement. This Distribution Agreement, which superseded and replaced a prior similar distribution agreement, and was amended in July 2021 to acknowledge our filing of a new registration statement on Form S-3 registering the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock under the Distribution Agreement and replace Citigroup Global Markets Inc. with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as a sales agent, had all $100.0 million available for sale as of December 31, 2021.  We did not sell or issue any shares of our common stock during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Distribution Agreement will remain in full force and effect until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the agreement or such date that the maximum offering amount has been sold in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In November 2018, we authorized a stock repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to 4,500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock. The maximum number of shares available to be purchased under the stock repurchase program as of December 31, 2021 was 3,812,939 shares. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we repurchased 83,000 shares of common stock under this program for approximately $1.4 million.On May 19, 2021, our Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend.
