Mandatory Neighborhood Association Organizations:

Mandatory Neighborhood Associations are established to maintain common areas and enforce private deed restrictions. Unlike a Voluntary Association, membership in the association is not optional. When an individual purchases property within a mandatory association, the individual automatically becomes a member. These organizations are often called HOAs.
