How do I become a member of my HOA?

You automatically become a member of the homeowners association and a shareholder when you purchase a home within a common interest development (CID). Your HOA membership entitles you to voting rights. Your vote gives you a voice and ability to help set association rules, policies and regulations that affect your community. In addition, all association members are required to share the costs of operating and maintaining your community’s common areas, systems equipment and amenities. These services are covered by your homeowners’ association fees or dues, which each unit owner is required to pay.
