Common Rules of Homeowners Associations

If you’re buying a home for sale in Riverview in a community with a homeowners association, you might already have a good understanding of what an HOA does. Neighborhoods with homeowners associations typically have a strong set of rules that everyone living in the community has to follow. These are some of the most common.

Common Rules of Homeowners Associations

Because the purpose of a homeowner’s association is to preserve property values in the neighborhood, each homeowner in the community has to stick to certain rules and regulations, which are outlined in an HOA’s CC&Rs, or covenants, conditions and restrictions.

Some of the most common include:

  • Colors that are allowed for exterior house paint
  • Property and landscaping standards
  • Types of fences that are allowed in the community
  • Types of window treatments – the public-facing side – that are allowed in the neighborhood
  • Limitations on the types, styles or strengths of security lights you can attach to your home
  • Rules on sports equipment you can install in your driveway or yard
  • Restrictions on the types and numbers of vehicles you can park in the driveway or on the street
  • Property use restrictions
  • Pet rules
  • Rules on commercial or business uses of land that’s meant for residences
