Homeowners Association Law |
What is a Homeowners Association?
A Homeowners' Association (HOA) is a legal entity that governs a subdivision, condominium or townhome development, or planned community. HOA membership is mandatory for all property owners within the development. The HOA is run by a board, which is bound by the HOA bylaws, and board positions are filled by election or appointment. The HOA collects a fee assessment from all owners to maintain common areas, address legal and safety issues, and enforce restrictions that are applicable to that particular residential area. The HOA also provides residents with a platform to address common concerns of the community.
As an important area of its real estate law practice, the Miller, Walsh & Kutz law firm also fulfills a growing need for homeowner associations (HOA), also known as common interest community associations. Homeowner associations are a form of community self-governance that exists to develop, sell, and manage residential real estate while pursuing the common good of all association members.
