WHAT ARE HOA
RULES?
When you purchase a home that's part of a
community association, you automatically
become a member. Membership comes with
various benefits. However, there are often
some homeowner responsibilities, too. Most
importantly, residents are required to follow
the homeowners' association (HOA) rules
and regulations. Enforced by the board of
directors, HOA rules are designed to:
• Preserve the aesthetics of an area
• Protect and enhance home values
• Enforce the community's covenants,
conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs)
and bylaws
• Maintain the property of the association
and its owners
At Associa, we've spent decades helping
community members understand the ins
and outs of HOA rules. Intended to protect
homeowners' investments and provide
a common framework for neighborhood
harmony, rules are essential to a thriving
community. Read on to learn everything you
need to know about HOA rules.
