Feel free to ask us, but in general if an area community has common areas to maintain then it will have an association. Virtually of the latest large scale developments have Home Owners Associations.
What
does the Association do?
Generally the job of the association is to manage
the common grounds, and to enforce the
CC&R's.
Who participates in running the association?
The larger communities will have professional
management companies. But even the professionally
managed associations have officers who are property owners
in the community. The property owners always have
participation in the association. It is important to
note that when a development is new the developer will have
control over the association; That control remains until a
specified percentage of the development is sold.
How much are the association dues?
I have seen dues ranging from $10 / month to $400 /
month.
