Assessments fund the community’s budget and pay for common area landscape, routine maintenance, private streets, pavilion, playground, swimming pool, clubhouse, property insurance, management and administrative costs of the association and all HOA owned communities and amenities. Assessments also fund capital reserves for community repairs up to 30 years.

A special assessment is a fee that is charged to pay for an expense that cannot be covered by the monthly HOA fees. The special assessment is charged separately from your monthly HOA fees.

An individual assessment is a fee that is charged to bring a homeowners lot or unit into compliance with the governing documents. An individual assessment is charged to the individual homeowner and is separate from your monthly HOA fees.

The reinvestment fee is an industry-standard charge that covers the costs associated with transferring ownership from seller to buyer within an HOA and is used for additional reserve account funding for future capital improvements on community amenities and townhomes.

Property improvements (fences, antennas, tv dishes, sheds, RV pads, etc.) must first be approved by the HOA board or through the project guidelines found here. The more details you provide in your request form, including drawings and other samples, the easier it will be for the HOA to approve your request.

Please note that requests may take up to fourteen (14) days for approval. Please do not schedule any construction work or purchase any equipment until written approval has been received.n

The community association CC&R’s specify what approvals need to be sought when making improvements in order to maintain the look and feel of the overall community as well as the overall value of the homes.

Governing documents are recorded legal documents set up by the developer that include Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Bylaws as well as community Rules and Regulations. These documents determine the overall structure of a community association and establish obligations and responsibilities of its members.

1. The use of both common property and individual lots or units. Rules and guidelines are developed in this area to promote conformity and peaceful living.

2. Changes in the architecture, the construction, or the appearance of lots or units. Rules and guidelines are developed in this area to establish and preserve a consistent design for a community and protect the value of the property.

3. The behavior of residents (owners and tenants), guests, and other visitors. Rules are developed in this area because of the possible impact one person’s behavior may have on another person.

HOA Articles of Incorporation: A community association’s corporate structure is established when the developer sets up the association. The developer files articles of incorporation with the appropriate state corporation agency. The articles of incorporation bring the corporation into existence, define its basic purposes and powers.

Board of Directors: The board of directors is the governing board with primary authority to operate and manage the affairs of the association. The board of directors is elected by the property owners, or as otherwise specified in the bylaws. The limitation and restrictions of the powers of the board of directors is outlined in the association governing documents.

Bylaws: The bylaws are the guidelines for the operation of the HOA. The bylaws define the responsibilities of the board of directors; how elections will be handled; the terms of the directors; the memberships’ voting rights; required meetings and notices of meetings; and the principal office of the association, as well as other specific items that are necessary to run the association as a business.

Reserve Fund: The reserve fund is an account dedicated to unanticipated and deferred expenditures, particularly large ones. The Association allocates money toward its reserve account over time so that, when a costly repair or comparable outlay becomes necessary, cash reserves are available to handle the expense without sacrificing day-to-day functions.

Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R): The declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions are the governing legal documents that set up the guidelines for the operation of the community. The CC&R is recorded by the developer in the county in which the property is located and is included in the title to your property.

Warning Letter & Compliance Issues: From time to time, a rule or covenant may not be complied with in an association. This compliance issue is typically spotted during a routine community inspection. A Warning Letter is always issued on the first occurrence of any non-compliance matter. This is an attempt to discover possible reasons for noncompliance, as well as request that the homeowner address the issue in a reasonable amount of time. If it is not addressed by the homeowner, a hearing may be set with the Board of Directors. Additionally, the Board of Directors may impose fines until the matter is resolved.

Common Area: A common area is designated on the recorded plat of the community as land and community assets that are not sold to an individual owner. In a planned community, the common areas are owned by the association. You will also see the term “limited common areas.” A limited common area is common area that is for the exclusive use of fewer than all the owners of an association.

Declarant: The development company and its successors and assigns.
