What is a “managing agent”?

The managing agent is a company that is hired by the Board of Directors. The managing agent tends to the day-to-day operation of the Association and implements the policies and decisions, as determined by the Board of Directors. The Board is allowed to delegate tasks, but not responsibility, to the managing agent. The management agent generally does not have the authority to enter into contracts or make decisions on behalf of the association or board.

Why do I need to comply with the deed restrictions?

When you purchase a home in a deed-restricted community you automatically agree to comply with the restrictions then in place or that are properly established. This ensures the integrity of the community. The restrictions are for your protection and for the protection of your neighbors. Failure to comply brings a responsibility to the Board of Directors to bring about any action legally necessary to force compliance. For example, the change in appearance that you want to make, in violation of the covenants, may be one reason your neighbor bought a home in this community–so they would not have to look at that 10′ fence or purple door or 4-car garage.

Why do I have to get permission for home improvement?

To better ensure that your intended improvement meets your community’s standards as set forth in the Governing Documents and avoids the problems that arise from the construction of improvements and the use of colors or styles that conflict with others in your neighborhood. The Board of Directors has the power and the responsibility to force you to undo any improvement you make that do not comply with the Governing Documents, so the application process is your protection against future action against you. Once approved, the change is permitted and that approval applies to you and any future owner of the home.

What is the “common area or element”?

It is the land for the use and enjoyment of the members of the Association. This includes facilities like pools and playgrounds in single-family communities and hallways, parking lots, exercise facilities, and building structures in condominium communities. Common areas are owned by all in an undivided interest. For this reason, maintenance responsibility falls proportionately on all owners who have that undivided interest in common areas.
