Associations are defined by the developer who established the land-use conventions -- conditions, covenants, regulations and restrictions (CC&Rs) -- for the property. Often, a developer will look to the state non-profit laws, and incorporate an association. Or an association can be a for-profit association if income is earned by the association from profitable use.
As well, an unincorporated association may exist.

Your question may be based on a resident's business, and what is allowed by the association in terms of 'conducting business from a residence'.
There is no standard definition. However, business that encroachs on the quiet enjoyment of residents in the community may not be allowed. This could be a day-care center or a salon of some kind.

Nope. The word "office" isn't part of the official name, presumably. Try substituting any other thing the Homeowners Association might have.

Generally, yes. Owners are entitled to review all business records of the association, including all financial records.
If the title 'Homeowners Association' refers to an actual association, then yes. It is the name of a registered association, and is therefore a proper noun. All proper nouns should be capitalised.However, if it is used as a general term, e.g. "Are you part of any homeowners association?" then it does not require capitals.
It won't. Homeowners insurance is protection from sudden accidental losses, it does cover association dues.
Yes. The homeowners association ID may be valid in any establishment.
If the subdivision is subject to a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants that include a homeowners' association then your property is subject to mandatory membership.

No. Homeowners Insurance does not cover auto theft from a business.
no it won't. homeowners insurance needs to meet the definition of an "occurrence" to trigger coverage - an uncompleted job doesn't trigger the homeowners policy. contact better business bureau and attorney general (if fraud is involved)
