What is a Homeowners' Association?

An "association" is defined as a "nonprofit corporation or unincorporated association created for the purpose of managing a common interest development." The association is the governing body for common interest developments, whether residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use or otherwise.  Associations are governed through their boards of directors who have general duties and have broad authority to govern. Although private organizations, associations are quasi-governmental in nature.

​

What are the ByLaws?

Bylaws establish policies and procedures for the governing of an association. They set qualifications for the election of directors, their number and term of office, their powers and duties, the appointment of officers, when and how meetings are held, quorum and voting requirements, appointment of committees, etc.

​

What are the CC&Rs?

Unlike bylaws, which address the governance of an association, a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions ("Declaration" or "CC&Rs") describes the rights and obligations of the membership to the association and the association to the membership. CC&Rs generally cover the following: (i) restrictions on the use of property, (ii) member and association maintenance duties, (iii) enforcement powers, (iv) lender protection provisions, (v) assessments obligations and lien/collection rights, (vi) duty to insure, and (vii) dispute resolution and attorneys' fees provisions.

​

What is my Assessment and When is it Due?

Regular assessments are determined by the Board during the annual budgeting process to cover normal operations for the association. Assessments of $163.00 are due on the first of each month. 

Note: The Board cannot increase regular assessments more than 20% without membership approval.

​

Should I Attend Board Meetings?

Yes!  We love to see homeowners participating in the business of the association and you have great ideas to share!  The Board is elected to serve on your behalf and they welcome your perspective on how things are going.
