New community developments are often required to form a non-profit corporation chartered with maintaining common areas within the development. These entities are commonly known as Homeowner Association or community associations. In addition to maintaining the common areas, associations are also responsible for managing the community’s finances and at the direction of the Board, enforce the guidelines in the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R).

Collecting unpaid assessments, enforcing the association’s governing documents, handling disputes and dealing with contractors are just a few of the issues that Homeowner Associations face on a daily basis. Serving as a member of your Board of Directors requires a significant investment of time and energy.
