The HOA manages shared community spaces, enforces neighborhood rules (CC&Rs), collects dues, and ensures the overall upkeep and value of the neighborhood.
CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) are the governing rules for the community. They outline what homeowners can and cannot do with their property to maintain consistency and standards.
Dues are set by the board based on the annual budget. They typically cover landscaping, maintenance of common areas, insurance, utilities, and administrative costs.
Yes. The board can raise dues or levy special assessments if additional funds are needed for repairs, emergencies, or capital improvements—usually with notice and sometimes a vote.
Late payments may incur fees, and continued non-payment can lead to liens on your property or even foreclosure in extreme cases.
Submit an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) or Architectural Review Committee (ARC) form detailing your proposed changes. The board or committee will review for compliance with CC&Rs.
Yes. Most HOAs allow homeowners to attend board meetings, and some offer open forums for resident input. Meeting schedules are typically posted in advance.
Board members are elected by homeowners annually. The board consists of 3 members. 1 member's term expires each year opening 1 spot every year for a vote.
Contact the HOA board or property manager in writing. Most HOAs have formal procedures for handling complaints, violations, or disputes.
Yes. If these issues are addressed in the CC&Rs or community rules, the HOA has the authority to enforce them, including issuing warnings or fines.
Understand exactly what the violation is, which rule or covenant it refers to, and what corrective action is being requested. Look for deadlines and any potential fines.
Check your HOA’s CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions), bylaws, and community rules to confirm whether the violation is valid and how it’s typically handled.
Take photos, gather receipts, or collect any relevant communication that supports your position or shows compliance. This is especially helpful if you plan to dispute the notice.
If you have questions or believe the notice was issued in error, reach out respectfully. Most HOAs appreciate proactive communication and may offer clarification or flexibility.
If the violation is valid and easily fixable—like trimming a tree, removing a sign, or submitting an ACC form—take care of it promptly to avoid further penalties.
Many HOAs allow homeowners to formally dispute violations. Follow the process outlined in your governing documents to request a hearing or submit an appeal.
Whether you agree with the notice or not, maintaining a respectful tone helps preserve neighborly relationships and often leads to better outcomes.
