corporation or unincorporated association of owners that is created pursuant to
a recorded declaration for managing, maintaining or improving the property. An
HOA's power and authority is derived from a variety of legal documents,
including the governing documents and federal and state statutes and
regulations. The governing documents create the legal foundation and
organizational framework of an HOA and consist of the declaration of covenants,
conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs), the articles of incorporation, the
bylaws and the rules and regulations (
