Finally, is an HOA considered a local government? No—HOAs are not considered a local government entity. While they do hold some administrative functions for a community, such as collecting assessments and enforcing rules, they do not possess the authority granted to real government bodies.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
Unlike some states that have specific governmental agencies dedicated to regulating HOAs, Indiana does not have a single state agency that directly oversees these associations. Instead, the regulation of HOAs in Indiana is primarily governed by state statutes, the association's governing documents, and the courts.
Federal Law Supersedes State Law. While a municipality can write local laws they can be stricter than the State law (as long as they do not run counter to the State or U.S. Constitution) But cannot contradict state law.
A homeowners association is an organization that creates and enforces rules for properties within a community. HOAs are often formed in planned communities, subdivisions, or inium buildings.
HOA Rules and Regulations are a community document that outlines the rules homeowners must follow to participate in the association. They're created to cultivate your community's aesthetic, preserve the value of the property and lay out behavioral guidelines for neighbors.

Well, HOA is short for homeowners' association. They're established as non-profit organizations to help manage, run, and maintain a community.
