community association
Local residents' organization
A community association is an organization that manages shared property and enforces rules in a residential development—condominiums, townhouses, or planned neighborhoods.
Residents typically pay dues and must follow governing documents covering everything from landscaping to exterior paint colors.
The community association fined them for leaving their trash cans out.
