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.
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.
The Virginia inium Act (the “Act”) was enacted on July 1, 1974.

In other words, they are a legal entity created by statute.
