                                     What Is An HOA?

A Homeowners Association (HOA), is an organized group of owners within a Subdivision, Condo or Planned Unit Development (PUD) that determines and enforces rules and regulations within a community. They serve to maintain the grounds, master insurance, common area utilities and any community facilities in the neighborhood. Homeowners in these communities usually pay a monthly fee known as HOA dues. These fees go towards improvements or general care of the common areas.  

 

Here Are Some Examples Of What May Be Included:

 

  • Landscaping
  • Trash
  • Community clubhouse, gym, pool, security if applicable
  • Maintenance and repairs of the common areas
  • HOA members are elected from among the residents and serve to maintain grounds, master insurance, community utilities, as well as the overall finances of the building complex or community.
  • Most HOAs will require all unit owners to pay a monthly maintenance charge and may also demand special one-time assessments to cover large community expenses.
  • The HOA's bylaws will spell out which responsibilities are the associations and which are the unit owners'.

Hi Larry and Sheila - there certainly are many forms.  We are in two in Florida--one for the subdivision and one for the entire community.  The community one includes our basic tv cable, phone, and internet.

Hello Sheila and Larry - the term "homeowner association" or its acronym can be frightening or disarming to some but an understanding of the legal concept is important.  People need to decide for themselves what will be best for them as well as for their situation.

Good morning Larry and Sheila. HOA can be a sweet sound or an awful sound depending on your line of thinking. Think it through if it is for you. Enjoy your day.

For people that like their independence knowing the restrictions of a HOA community may preclude them from buying in one

That is a really good explanation of what an HOA is and your clients are lucky to have you representing them.

Hi Sheila and Larry... I'm one of those people who would never live in a community without an HOA... and yet I know people who won't live in one with an HOA.

This is good information to share. Some HOAs are very restrictive with frustrating regulations.
