The Unpaid H.O.A. Fees
Homeowners Association (H.O.A.)
Homeowners are automatically part of the H.O.A. when they buy a home in a neighborhood with an H.O.A.
An H.O.A. is a private organization that manages residential communities. The H.O.A. is run by a board of directors who are responsible for:
Enforcing rules
HOAs create and enforce rules for residents and properties, such as architectural controls, lawn and holiday decoration restrictions, and parking rules.
Maintaining common areas
HOAs collect fees from members to pay for the upkeep of facilities and common areas.
Protecting property values
HOAs help protect the value of homeowners' properties. Properties with HOAs are generally valued 4% higher than similar properties without HOAs.
Providing services
HOAs can provide services to residents and develop a sense of community through social activities and amenities.
