How to Follow the Rules of Your HOA

Living in an HOA community brings with it many advantages. Ideally, your HOA helps protect and enhance property values. It fosters a sense of community. It provides amenities such as a pool, tennis courts, or a clubhouse. It might even help you diffuse difficult situations with a neighbor—like a parking disagreement, or a noise violation.

Of course, there is a certain give and take to HOA life. In order to receive these benefits, you also have to pay dues. Additionally, homeowners in an HOA community must agree to live by certain rules and regulations.

Sometimes, living by these rules is tough—not because the rules are unfair, but because it’s easy to forget exactly what they entail. For those who take advantage of community management services in Myrtle Beach, it can be beneficial to remind yourselves of what the rules really are. Some tips:

-          Make sure you have a copy of the rules and regulations; hopefully, you read it thoroughly before moving into the Association. If you need a copy, reach out to your Board or to whatever community management services are being used.

-          Attend the annual HOA meeting; feel free to attend a routine HOA Board meeting, too, especially if you have questions about the rules.

-          Consult your rules before making any big decisions with your property—repainting it, adding a room, or even planting a big tree.

Make sure you know what the rules are; generally, they are going to be matters of common sense, but don’t hesitate to contact a Board member if you need clarification on anything.
