Governing Documents
Upon purchasing a home with an HOA, homebuyers should
receive the governing documents—signing on the dotted line
is their agreement to abide by them, after all. Still, providing
new residents with a copy of the complete governing
documents, including the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws,
Covenants, Codes, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), etc., is a
convenience. To further make a new resident's life a little
easier, highlight the specific areas of the CC&Rs that are
most important in your community. Examples are:
• Delivery guidelines
• Pet restrictions
• Parking requirements
• Architectural guidelines
• Visitor rules
• Noise violations
• Smoking policies
• Disputes and resolutions
