Common Rules to live by:
 

Living in a homeowners association community means that you are required to pay yearly fees to be a part of it. These fees typically go toward the amenities like grounds maintenance, and sometimes services like water for sprinkler systems, retention ponds, and electric for neighborhood lighting. Paying your fees is an important rule to follow.  

Be courteous of the times and types of noise you’re creating. Blasting your stereo at 1 a.m., loud exhausts, or mowing your lawn at dawn would probably violate your town noise ordinance or homeowners association rules and you could be fined not to mention irritate your neighbors.  

When it comes to the appearance of your home, make sure to keep it as clutter free as possible. Patio furniture, decorative water fountains, other beautification items are usually not a problem. Just make sure you don’t have junk lying around like garbage bags, yard waste, or other kinds of scraps. 

Each common area will have its own subset of rules. For example, the park or grassy areas etc. These areas are for the benefit of the homeowners association members who should pay attention to things like opening and closing times, sidewalk use, landscaping care, littering, cleanup, smoking permissions, and other limitations that may be in place.
 

Most homeowners associations or towns will have some kind of rule in place about how many animals you can have, possibly the type of animal and breeds, cleaning up after your pet, leash laws, and noise levels such as dogs barking.
 

Many homeowners associations have strict rules on the appearance of your house. Some are more extreme than others, but can include what color you can paint your house, roof color, shed placement or roof lines. It important to note that if you want to digress from any of the rules, you must ask the HOA Board to grant you a variance to make the changes, however this is usually unlikely to happen.
 

Can’t we all just get along? Most of the time, yes. But it’s not unusual for disagreements to take place among neighbors or with management when any of the above rules aren’t being followed. Fighting, verbal abuse, drunkenness and other negative behaviors can result in fines and even having to contact law enforcement.

Make sure you ask for a copy of your homeowners association’s CC&Rs so you know the specific rules for the community you live in.
