Your association's rights and responsibilities are outlined in your governing documents, which are referenced in your deed.

HOAs are based in land-use documents -- covenants, conditions, restrictions and regulations (CC&Rs), upon which your deed is based.

Your association operates the community with assessments that owners pay to cover the expenses required to operate the property. As well, some assessment monies are set aside to maintain the real estate assets that owners own in common.

Review your governing documents to learn more about your responsibilities as an owner who holds a deed to property in the association.
