How Do Communities Benefit From Professional Management?
When developers started building modern communities many people agreed that having common amenities shared by all owners was a good idea. One question remained – who is going to take care of these perks? The local government does not take responsibility because the land is privately owned. Likewise, the developer eventually sells all the homes in a neighborhood and then shifts focus to another project. That left the owners of the neighborhood to care for the amenities and necessitated the introduction of a “community association”.
The community association is an organization of homeowners in a particular neighborhood. It is an incorporated, non-profit organization operating under a set of governing documents typically including the articles of incorporation, bylaws, and declaration of covenants. A buyer will automatically become a member with the purchase of a home in the development. As a member, the homeowner has a voice and a vote in the associations’ affairs. These votes are generally cast during annual or special meetings of the members.
The community association is governed by a set of documents that guide both the associations’ officers and homeowners. The Articles of Incorporation establish the association legally and prescribe its purpose, structure, and powers. The Bylaws establish the meeting process, election procedures, power and duties, and insurance / legal requirements of the association. The Declaration of Covenants details each owner’s rights and obligations with the association, individual property, and the common property owned by the association.
The Bylaws establish a Board of Directors who is charged with administering policies and making decisions affecting the association. The Board is comprised of owners who are elected to the position. The Board is recognized by the State of Ohio as the officers of the association who have the authority to enter into contractual obligations and enforce provisions of the governing documents.
