Community Associations refer to organized groups of residents within a specific geographic area, typically created to manage shared resources, maintain common areas, and provide governance among property owners. These associations can take various forms, including homeowners’ associations (HOAs), condominium associations, and property owners’ associations. Their primary functions often involve overseeing community rules and regulations, managing maintenance of communal facilities such as parks and pools, and ensuring adherence to community standards. Members of community associations typically pay periodic fees or dues to support these activities. The governance structure usually includes elected boards of directors who make decisions on behalf of the community, addressing issues such as budgeting, enforcement of rules, and community improvement projects. Community associations aim to enhance property values, foster a sense of community, and promote a cooperative living environment among residents.
