Best Answer

A homeowners association is a collection of real estate owners who own individual properties and own common areas in common with all other owners.

A civic association does not presume real estate ownership, but rather, organizes to demonstrate civic pride, often over a neighborhood.

There really is no difference, except for the styling of the name. Both organizations operate through covenants and bylaws recorded against a group of properties with the goal of making said properties more valuable and desirable.

I would like to find out how I can have my property exempted from our local property owners association?

If you purchased your property subject to the by-laws and rules & regulations of a Homeowner's Association you cannot remove your property from the association. All the other owners have the right to expect that each owner must follow the rules and pay their share in the assessments and maintenance fees. Removing your property from the association would mean that you could not share in any of the benefits of the association, including amenities, roadways, common area parking, trash removal, sewer service, master insurance coverage and so forth. There would be no way to accommodate your property separately from the common elements owned by all owners. As an alternative, you can remove yourself from the association by selling your property to a new owner.
