If the subdivision is subject to a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants that include a homeowners' association then your property is subject to mandatory membership.
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.
You would need the written consent of every property owner in the subdivision. The document with the consents must be recorded in the land records.
A homeowners association cannot be a mandatory association without the consent of 100% of the property owners in the development attempting to establish an association. In addition to the consent of the property owners, the association must follow certain procedures and file the proper documents in order to subject the property to the association's rule.
Yes, renters can be part of the homeowners association if it is stated in the bylaws. The bylaws typically outline the qualifications and rights of association membership, and if they include renters as eligible members, then renters can participate in the homeowners association. However, it ultimately depends on the specific provisions in the bylaws of the association.
It is only mandatory if you have a mortgage or lien on the home.
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.)
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.
Yes, a homeowners association can legally require homeowners to pay fees or dues as outlined in the association's governing documents, such as the bylaws or covenants. Failure to pay these fees can result in penalties or legal action by the association.

no they can't. That's why it's MANDATORY.
