Builder role in community Governance
Most of HOAhomepage is dedicated to the ongoing challenges faced by board members and industry professionals who must navigate state and local law, along with the deed restrictions written into a community’s governing documents. This page takes a different angle: it’s built for home builders and their counsel, who face that same regulatory landscape from the very beginning — when the governing documents are first drafted.
To support that work, we’ve analyzed the requirements for creating a maintenance association in every state. Regulatory burden varies widely. Some states impose detailed statutory requirements on CC&Rs, Articles of Incorporation, and Bylaws; others leave most of these decisions to the developer. Every state legislature can amend these requirements at any time, so this resource reflects current law as we understand it — builders and their attorneys should always confirm requirements against the most recent statute before drafting.
It’s also worth distinguishing between two different sources of restriction in a CID. Some provisions exist because state or local law requires them. Others exist purely because the developer chose to include them — and these are often where the real friction lives. Wherever the law allows it, we encourage builders to give homeowners a meaningful path to modify these document-only restrictions later, without requiring the supermajority vote typically reserved for amendments affecting the association’s structure or legal compliance. A common example: provisions maintaining the separation of interests between units, or excluding behavioral restrictions from the CC&Rs entirely and placing them instead in an amendable Rules and Regulations document.
This distinction matters because most homeowner frustration with HOAs traces back to boards enforcing restrictions that were never legally required — they were simply written into the CC&Rs by the original developer and never revisited.
