FAQ
HOAs are focused on ruling and regulating the community to ensure safety, cleanliness, and maintenance. POA concentrates on the general maintenance of common areas and facilities.
An HOA is a Home Owner's Association. A COA is a inium Owner's Association.
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. HOA bylaws are also sometimes referred to as neighborhood association bylaws or subdivision bylaws.
HOA: Manages amenities and common areas within the confines of a particular community, which may include parks, pools, or clubhouses. POA: Often oversees larger-scale amenities, such as golf courses, recreational facilities, or expansive common areas that serve multiple neighborhoods.
Homeowners' associations (HOAs) are the governing body of many common interest communities (CIC), such as subdivisions, who manage the common areas and interests of the community.
Most HOA documents are public record, including governing documents. Some states only require the HOA to make certain documents public, while others can be kept confidential. These confidential records can include things like board meeting minutes, financial records, and insurance claims.
In some states, such as California, HOA bylaws are considered public record and must be made available upon request.
Generally speaking, most HOAs can control anything that is visible from outside the house. So that includes anything that goes on outside, up to the siding, roofing, etc on the house itself. It wouldn't be too far of a stretch to assume they would have requirements for backyard items.
An HOA's governing documents are usually in the form of a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and bylaws. The CC&Rs explain the rules of the HOA community, while the bylaws cover how the HOA operates.
Section 4900 of the Act says that all HOA board meetings must be open to all association members, with a few exceptions for private sessions. In California, executive sessions are closed-door talks that only board members, and certain other people can attend.
