A homeowners association is an organization that develops and enforces rules and regulations for a subdivision, planned community, or condominium building.
Members of the HOA are residents of the microdistrict, village or house.
Some communities require compulsory membership for persons purchasing property in the zone.
Homeowners associations are governed by a board of directors and typically charge a monthly or annual fee to pay for maintenance of common areas and facilities.
Homeowner associations can impose fines on homeowners who do not follow the rules.
