Common Interest Communities, including HOAs, condominiums and co-ops, are a form of real estate ownership. This real estate ownership scheme is dictated by the land-use developer, who files the covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations with the local land-use office.
Typically, the association owns key parts of the property -- such as exteriors, or owns amenities, such as the Golf course, pool, clubhouse, community parks or roadways. Association ownership is divided among all owners based on allocated interest.
The association's responsibility is to protect, maintain and preserve real estate values. Operationally, it is generally incorporated and must function as a business. This means financial reports, board meeting minutes, notices to shareholder/owners and so forth.
If you derive no benefit from common interest community real estate ownership, you are best advised to purchase a single family home.
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.
Not necessarily. However, the covenants authorizing the association would need to be in your title policy.
Generally, yes, especially if the association is any kind of corporation.
Nope. The word "office" isn't part of the official name, presumably. Try substituting any other thing the Homeowners Association might have. Would you capitalize the Homeowners Association softball team, the Homeowners Association stationery, or the Homeowners Association location? (I'm a grammar Nazi--but only on request.)
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.

To form a Homeowners Association in an existing subdivision, a majority of the homeowners in the subdivision typically vote to establish the association. The process usually involves gathering support from homeowners, drafting and adopting governing documents such as bylaws and covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs), and registering the association with local authorities if required. It is essential to consult with legal professionals and follow any state or local regulations regarding the formation of homeowners associations.
A civic association gathers and operates around a civic principle. A homeowners association is a land-use covenant made with the local municipality, county and state that gathers and operates real estate around a set of covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations. Generally, membership in a civic association is optional; membership in a homeowners association is mandatory when a person purchases property within the boundaries of the association's land plat.
