Home Owners Associations (HOAs) are non-profit organizations that manage and maintain residential communities. These associations are typically created by developers or builders to ensure that the community is well-maintained and adheres to certain standards. HOAs are responsible for enforcing rules and regulations, collecting fees from homeowners, and managing common areas such as parks, pools, and sidewalks. They also handle maintenance and repairs for shared amenities and infrastructure, such as roads and streetlights. HOAs can be found in a variety of residential settings, including single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums.
