Assessments
I want to set up recurring payments for my HOA assessment, how do I do so?
Payment services are offered over the internet via our website: http://www.kchoa.com – You may pay using ‘e-check’, a self-initiated one-time or recurring debit from your checking account at no cost to you. To initiate recurring e-check payments, use the link identified as ‘Pay My Assessment’, located on the right-hand side of our home page, followed by the link ‘Login or Register to Pay Now.’ You will then use the link ‘Create Account’ to setup an account for recurring e-check payments. Once your account has been created, and your email verified, you will then need to ‘add a property’ to complete the recurring payment setup. After you’ve created an account, in order to access it in the future, follow the same steps listed above, but use the link ‘Login’ instead of the link ‘Create Account.’
Board
What is a homeowners/community association?
A homeowners/community association is a non-profit corporation registered with the State and manaed by a duly elected Board of Directors. Its purpose is to maintain all common areas and to govern the community in accordance with the provision of the legal documents: CC&Rs, ByLaws, and Articles of Incorporation. The community association is financially supported by all members of the association. Membership is both automatic and mandatory.
What are the CC&Rs?
The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), also known as the Declarations, are the governing legal documents that set up the guidelines for the operation of the community association that an owner must abide by. The CC&Rs were recorded by the County recorder’s office of the County in which the property is located and are included in the title to your property.
What are the ByLaws?
The Bylaws are the adopted guidelines for the administration and management of a community association. The Bylaws define the duties of the various offices of the Board of Directors, the terms of the Directors, the membership’s voting rights, required meetings and notices of meetings, and the principal office of the Association, as well as other specific items that are necessary to run the Association as a business.
What is the Board of Directors?
The Board of Directors is elected by the homeowners, or as otherwise specified in the bylaws. The Board has the responsibility to operate the community association on behalf of the property owners. The limitations and restrictions of the powers of the Board of Directors is outlined in the Association governing documents.
Are there any other rules, outside the governing documents, in my Association?
Most associations have developed Rules and Regulations as provided for in the CC&Rs and adopted by the Board of Directors. Rules are established to provide direction to the homeowners for common courtesies with regard to parking, vehicles, pets, etc. In addition, your Association may adopt Architectural Guidelines with procedures for submitting requests to make exterior changes to your residence. Such changes may include patio covers, decks, landscaping, exterior color changes or extensive interior changes and additions. These rules and guidelines are set up to maintain the aesthetic value and integrity of the community on behalf of all owners, and hopefully protect the property value of your investment as well. If you proceed with an exterior improvement or change, without written approval of the Board of Directors, or Architectural Committee, as applicable, you may be required to remove or correct the alteration at your sole expense. Other alternative actions may be cited by the Board as more clearly defined in the rules and regulations specific for your community association.
