☐ Landscaping What HOA Living Means When considering the purchase of a home in a homeowners' association (HOA), potential buyers must realize that they are not buying a single-family dwelling. Instead they are purchasing a unit in a community where they own the interiors of the unit and the lot itself, however, the Homeowners Association is responsible for the maintenance of the exterior of the buildings. The Common Areas, such as the swimming pools, playgrounds, clubhouses, common lawn areas (often referred to as the greenbelt), walkways, trash areas, and parking alleys are owned by the Association. These are typically managed by a property management company, and the maintenance
wn areas (often referred to as the greenbelt), walkways, trash areas, and parking alleys are owned by the Association. These are typically managed by a property management company, and the maintenance and repair/replacement are funded by the monthly assessment.
The governing documents of a HOA include the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) which defines the responsibilities of the association and those of the homeowner; the By-Laws that guide how the Board of Directors runs the association; and the general rules and regulations that affect the everyday lives of homeowners. The rules and regulations place limits on the type of exterior changes or improvements homeowners can make on the property, primarily for the purposes of keeping the community at a uniform level of quality and maintaining the community's property values. Homeowners cannot do as they please without approval from the HOA when it comes to making architectural changes to the exteriors of the buildings including patio covers and fences, * windows, front doors, satellite dishes, and solar panels. By following the rules and regulations, homeowners can enjoy a harmonious environment in which all can live and prosper.
