What Is A Homeowners Association?
Homeowners associations (HOAs) are nonprofit organizations that manage master-planned communities on behalf of a community’s developer. HOAs generally refer to communities of single-family, detached homes.
HOAs have a few intended purposes: to keep community spaces well maintained and to create and enforce rules that prohibit individual homeowners from making changes to their homes that may jeopardize or decrease everyone's property values.
What Are HOA Fees?
HOA fees, or homeowners association fees, are dues homeowners within an association must pay.
Simply put, a homeowners association fee is paid annually by homeowners living within the Summer Branch community to maintain all properties, shared amenities and common areas within the association.
There are a variety of different services and costs that can make up your HOA fees, and the services an HOA offers. When looking at homes in HOA communities, compare them by member amenities and their rules and regulations to determine which HOA community best fits your needs and lifestyle.
What Does An HOA Fee Cover?
Every HOA community is different. To learn just how different they are, it's vital that you request a copy of an HOA's rules and regulations, commonly known as an association’s Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) to avoid joining an association that is more restrictive than you can handle and to learn what kinds of services your monthly dues cover.
The front landscaping, flowers, mailbox maintenance, awning maintenance, easement maintenance, neighborhood lights, sewer, and public use areas.
Some of the costs that can be paid for by members' monthly HOA fee payments include:
HOA Board Members are NOT paid. They are volunteers who give their time and energy to the community free of charge.
Maintenance And Repairs
A part of your monthly fees will go toward maintaining and repairing common areas and shared structures, which can include:
-
Pest control and maintenance of common areas
-
Maintenance for easements & neighborhood roads
-
Care for common areas that require lawn care and landscaping
-
The HOA retains ownership of everything outside the unit and is responsible for all exterior maintenance.
Reserve Funds
A portion of the fees you pay will be deposited into the HOA's reserve funds, which is a savings account the association can dip into for unexpected or out-of-the-ordinary expenses. If the clubhouse roof needs to be replaced or the pipes burst in the laundry room, for example, the HOA should have enough money to cover incidents like these.
