Governing Documents

HOA-managed communities have specific rules in place. They serve an important purpose to help maintain order and consistency within the community, thereby preserving property values and attracting potential buyers. The homeowners association's governing documents contain the rules, regulations, and all other contractual terms that members are bound by.

Bylaws: Simply put, homeowners association bylaws dictate how an HOA should run. Since HOAs are considered corporations under law, albeit non-profit, they require bylaws to govern day-to-day operations.

Covenants: This is a legal document that defines the guidelines homeowners must adhere to in the neighborhood. They outline the rights and obligations of homeowners to the association and vice versa. In essence, these are the rules of your community.

Addition: The Addition your home resides in is part of your property legal description. If you are not sure which addition your home is in, either of these tools will help you:
