homeowners association
Residential rule enforcers
A homeowners association is an organization in a residential community that establishes and enforces rules for properties and residents.
Membership is typically mandatory for property owners in the development.
HOAs collect dues to maintain common areas and amenities, and can fine homeowners for violations like unkempt lawns or unapproved paint colors.
Often abbreviated HOA: The HOA sent us a letter about our fence.
