What is the Legal basis for creating a Property Owners Association?
BrianLinnekens
From a real estate owners point of view, the legal basis is the land-use documents filed in the local hall of records defining the land use as an association -- condominium, co-op or home owners. These include the CC&Rs -- covenants, conditions, reservations and restrictions -- for the use of the land. Deeds of ownership, then, are based on this type of land-use.
Then, for the operation of the association -- as a legal basis for how it conducts its business, usually this is based in state corporate law. Associations can be for profit or non-profit, or unincorporated. These include Articles of Incorporation, which if they exist, reference the state corporate law that governs the business, and the By-laws, that describe the business rules.
Another PerspectiveA property owner's association is created by a developer of a subdivision, planned community or condominium for the purpose of controlling the use of the property and maintaining its value and aesthetics. The legal basis for creating the property owner's association is land ownership. The developer owns the land and can impose restrictions and protective covenants under the provisions of state laws. Once the property owner's association has been imposed on the land by a recording of documents in the land records, purchasers have notice thereof and purchase their interests subject to the provisions of the property owner's association.
