Best Answer

An HOA is established by a developer, who files land-use documents with the local hall of records. In addition, the developer can incorporate the HOA under Articles of Incorporation. Governing documents, including CC&Rs -- the land-use documents that list covenants, conditions, reservations and restrictions -- Bylaws for conducting the business of the association and so forth are prepared.

Any action taken by representatives of the HOA, including board members and owners, is potentially a legal action.

What type of insurance is needed for vacant land owned by your HOA?

If there is no lien on the property, the HOA's general liability insurance should cover any liability arising from the use of the land. If the HOA isn't formal and isn't incorporated it probably doesn't have any insurance. I would consider obtaining some. Consult the HOA's legal counsel for advice for your area.


What legal power does a homeowners organization have?

The charter of a Home Owner Association (HOA) usually states the powers, but, in general, the HOA is a collective entity that is established in part to protect the mutual interests of the members against violations.

You live in a gated community but your HOA hasn't closed the gate for months The HOA fee hasn't changed What can you do?

I suggest you contact the members of the HOA board. There is no law that the gate must be closed, or that the dues must be lowered if the gate remains open. Check the covenants to see whether there are any provisions about the opening or closing of the gate. You may have to attend the next meeting of the HOA to discuss the issue. Remember that being involved in the HOA makes your community a better place for everyone.
