From time to time Your HOA Manager receives requests from non-owner residents who either wish to discuss the home owner’s HOA account, who want to receive payment coupons, or who want to make modifications to the exterior of the home. Occasionally these residents are “related” to the actual home owner, however, neither the Board of Directors nor the management company can discuss home owner items or approve changes to the exterior of these homes with anyone other than the actual home owner.
How is ownership determined? Based on the title / deed paperwork received at closing is one way that ownership is determined. The other way is to look at the Public Records for the property on the County Assessor’s web site. If someone wants to discuss an account, gain access to the community web site, or have access to items that are “owner only” information, and they are not listed in the records of the association, we look to see if there are any changes in ownership based on the legal information on the County Assessor’s web site.
If you are a non-owner resident who wishes to be more involved in the community, please ensure you have communicated with the home owner on record for your residence, and your residence’s home owner has provided written permission (signed and dated by the home owner of record) for the management company and / or Board of Directors to speak with you. This written permission must specifically outline those items the Association may discuss with the non-owner resident. The Board of Directors and / or the management company reserve the right to decline to discuss items determined to be owner-specific and / or not specifically authorized in the owner’s written permission / documentation.
