FAQ
Many HOAs maintain a website where governing documents are posted. To find HOA rules and regulations online: Navigate to the HOA's official website. Look for sections labeled “Documents,” “Governing Documents,” or “Rules and Regulations.”
Who governs homeowners associations in Virginia? HOAs are subject to a number of state, federal, and local laws and are governed by a common interest community board that creates and enforces certain rules and regulations contained in the HOA's governing documents.
Statute of Limitations – The statute of limitations for a violation of a restriction is five (5) years from the time the association “discovered or, through the exercise of reasonable diligence, should have discovered the violation.” (Code. Civ. Pro § 336(b).)
A homeowners association in Virginia can restrict rentals but not without the express authority to do so. That means HOAs are permitted to limit or prohibit rentals provided such provisions are duly adopted in their declaration or CC&Rs.
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.
HOAs in Virginia have the right to establish reasonable restrictions to maintain property values and ensure uniformity in the community. If a community member violates its rules and regulations, an HOA may impose a fine. In Virginia, a HOA can punish a homeowner for breaking its regulations.
Homeowners can sue a board member of an HOA in Virginia if they believe there has been a violation of the governing documents or state law. Legal action must be based on specific grievances, such as breach of fiduciary duty or failure to follow the association's rules.
Many associations have communication channels in place so that homeowners can talk to the board or the community manager about any issues. However, if you wish to file a complaint against your HOA, you can do so with the Office of the Common Interest Community Ombudsman.
