FAQ
Once you buy a home that's part of an HOA, you automatically become a member of the HOA. HOA rules are legally binding, and you must adhere to all rules and regulations in the governing document. Yes, there are bylaws that you may not like, but there are no HOA loopholes.
The board may, without membership approval, levy a special assessment up to five percent (5%) of the current year's budgeted gross expenses, subject to certain requirements.
No, there is not a way to ``leave the HOA'' without moving. The HOA covenants are tied to the property permanently.
Eligibility. In general, Texas law does not contain any specific requirements for someone to be eligible to serve on the Board of Directors. A director doesn't even have to be a member of the organization. However, many property owners' associations create their own eligibility requirements in the governing documents.
Disclosure Requirements Disclosure is mandated by law, often through public records and real property records. Before purchasing a home, buyers must receive a set of documents detailing the HOA's health, such as its covenants, conditions, restrictions, bylaws, rules, and financial statements.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
The best way to strategize on short-term rental restrictions is to speak to a board member. At the same time, you can consult the CC&Rs' (Covenants, conditions, and restrictions) advice. Knowing the potential risks of getting around HOA's restrictions is important. And we highly recommend doing it the legal way.
Depending on the organizational form of the entity, however, the home or property owners' association may not be required to register with the secretary of state.
Certificates are filed in the county where the property is located and electronically in the Homeowners' Association Management Certificate Database. They often include contact information, mailing address, and website where governing documents can be found.
