Governing DocumentsOur HOA operates under a clear set of governing documents, including the CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions), Bylaws, and Rules & Regulations. These foundational documents establish the framework for how our community functions, outlining the rights and responsibilities of homeowners and the HOA itself. They help ensure that everyone understands the standards expected to maintain the neighborhood’s character, appearance, and overall quality of life.
By providing clear guidelines, these documents promote fairness, consistency, and transparency in how the community is managed. They serve as a valuable resource for resolving issues, guiding decision-making, and preserving the integrity of Oak Hills. Together, they help create a harmonious living environment where residents can enjoy a safe, attractive, and well-maintained neighborhood. |
