Practically all incorporated homeowner associations are subject to state laws governing nonprofit corporations. Most states also have additional laws governing condominiums and homeowner associations. These laws vary widely by state. In addition, homeowner associations are also subject to federal laws governing everything from fair housing to satellite dishes to swimming pools.
Practically all homeowner associations have their own governing documents in the form of restrictive covenants and bylaws. The restrictive covenants prepared by the developer are recorded with the deed and are legally binding. The restrictive covenants are intended to define the standards of the community so as to protect property values. The restrictive covenants vary widely from one association to another. The covenants can control everything from parking to fences, sheds, any architectural improvements such as porches, pools, and home additions. In some communities, even exterior paint color and basketball goals. In condominiums, even balcony decor and hardwood floors may be controlled. People who buy homes in a community with a homeowner association typically place value on community appearance. Neighbors cannot let their yards grow up in weeds, park boats and RVs in the driveway, ignore exterior maintenance, or paint their house with psychedelic colors.
Many homeowner associations benefit from shared amenities such as pools, tennis courts, and clubhouses. Some have marinas, stables, and even landing strips for small aircraft. The costs of operating and maintaining the community amenities as well as other expenses are paid by the members in the form of assessments. The assessments are mandatory and failure to pay assessments typically leads to fines, restriction of services, property liens, and can ultimately include foreclosure. Associations are supposed to set aside funds for large capital improvements such as painting or roofing in a townhome community, repaving of streets and parking areas, or replacement of mailboxes and street signs. When associations do not set aside adequate funds, residents usually have to pay special assessments which can be substantial.
As mentioned previously, the association is governed by a board of directors who are elected after the developer turns over control. The board has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interests of the community. This includes attending board meetings, keeping records, making or amending rules, collecting assessments, paying bills, providing financial reports, holding an annual member meeting, and generally operating the association like a business. Often, when the duties of operating the association become overwhelming for volunteers on the board, a management company will be hired to perform the day to day duties. However, only the board of directors have the authority to govern the community; not the management company.
Finally, every homeowner association is unique. We begin with distinctions of condos, town homes, single family, and coop communities. There are some that are small cities with over 10,000 members and budgets in the millions of dollars. There are many with less than 50 homes. Some associations have no amenities and some have multiple pools, theaters, and community transportation. There is a lot of difference between a high-rise condo in New York and a suburban single family community in Oklahoma. Associations have geographic considerations such as hurricanes in the southeast, droughts in the west, and blizzards in the north. Some states such as Florida and California have extensive laws and some states have few. Most associations benefit from a developer that ensures that the community is well governed and financed during construction. Some associations suffer from a developer who changes neighborhood standards, does not provide financial records, and operates with absolute autonomy. Some associations have management companies that do a great job and some do not. Some associations are governed by a board of directors that operate by a code of conduct and are open, fair, and consistent. Then there are boards that operate in secrecy, control power, and play favorites. Since the housing crisis, we now find more associations with high foreclosure rates, financial stresses, and resident apathy.
Unfortunately most home buyers pay more attention to paint colors than to the homeowner association. This can ultimately make the difference in living in paradise or living in the neighborhood from hell.

Every year at Easter, pet shops fill up with adorable bunnies for sale. Most of them come from breeders who are concerned with profit, not the health of the pet–in other words, rabbit mills. Studies say that 95% of all rabbits adopted at Easter are dumped. While the typical life expectancy is five years, rabbits can live 15 years when properly cared for and are not a seasonal gift. Bunnies are a pet for life, not just an Easter basket treat.
Each bunny featured on our cam is available for adoption from the PetSave Foundation and their Rabbitat (located at www.petsave.org). They have over 100 rabbits available for adoption.
