New to the HOA

New to your Community Association?

The Association is a legal corporation organized and incorporated under the laws of your state.

The Association has Articles of Incorporation that entitle the association to exercise powers of a corporation. By purchasing a home within your community association, you automatically become a member of the association and will remain so for as long as you own your home.

Membership in the association is mandatory and automatic for all owners. The deed to each lot and/or parcel specifically designates that the property owner will comply with the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R’s) of the association. You should have received a copy of these documents at the time your home purchase was closed by the title company.

As a property owner in a community association, you will be required to pay assessments, abide by the community’s rules and restrictions and maintain those areas of your home for which you are responsible.

You are now part of a community. You are not in an apartment, so there is no landlord to take care of your maintenance responsibilities. Similarly, you are not in a single family home so you have to be considerate of the common good of all the owners before you make a change. Embrace your new community as you make your transition into your new home and the community where you live.
