What is the HOA?
Homeowners' associations (HOAs) are common in many new, single-family housing developments, as well as in condominium and townhouse complexes. An HOA is the governing body of the development or complex, usually comprising homeowners who have volunteered to serve on the HOA board.
When you buy a property governed by a homeowners' association, you automatically become a member of the association. You don't have the choice of not joining. The purchase of your home becomes a contract with the HOA. You agree that you'll obey all the HOA rules and pay regular dues and any special assessments.
What are the CC&Rs?
The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R's), which are also known as the Declarations, define the bundle of rights each owner in the HOA must abide to. The CC&R's are recorded by the county recorder's office and are included in the title to your property. Failure to abide by the CC&R's may result in fines to the Homeowner by the HOA.
What are the Bylaws?
The bylaws are the adopted guidelines for the administration and management of an HOA. The Bylaws define the duties of the various offices of the Board of Directors, the terms of the Directors, the membership's voting rights, required meetings and notices of meetings, and the principal office of the Association, as well as other specific items that are necessary to run the Association as a business.
What are Board of Directors?
The Board of Directors is elected by the homeowners, or as otherwise specified in your HOA bylaws. The Board of Directors' responsibility is operating the HOA on behalf of the property owners. The Board of Directors will implement policies, standards, procedures, programs, and develop the annual budget for their community.
What are the primary requirements of the covenants?
Many HOAs have established rules and regulations that have been adopted by the Board of Directors. The rules and regulations are established to provide direction to the property owners in regard to parking, pets, pool use, etc. HOA may also have specific guidelines set up for architectural improvements. Architectural improvements include, but are not limited to: patio covers, decks, landscaping, and exterior color changes. These rules are set up to maintain the aesthetic value and integrity of your community, and to protect the market value of your investment. Violations of these rules may result in action by the Board of Directors, which can include fines assessed to the property owners. In addition, exterior improvements or changes that are completed without prior approval by the Board of Directors, may require the property owner to remove or correct the alteration and/or be fined for the violation(s).
