HOA stands for Homeowners Association. It is an organization typically established within a residential community or neighborhood with the goal of maintaining and managing common areas, amenities, and the overall appearance of the community. Homeowners within the community are usually required to become members of the HOA and pay regular fees or dues to fund the association's operations.

The responsibilities of an HOA can vary depending on the specific community and its governing documents, but they often include tasks such as maintaining common areas (like parks, pools, and landscaping), enforcing community rules and regulations (known as covenants, conditions, and restrictions or CC&R), managing finances, organizing social events, and hiring or overseeing property management services. 

HOAs play a crucial role in preserving property values and promoting a desirable living environment. While some homeowners appreciate the benefits of having an HOA, such as well-maintained amenities and enforced community standards, others may have concerns about the fees, restrictions, or potential conflicts that can arise. It's important for homeowners to understand the specific rules and regulations of an HOA before purchasing a property within a community governed by one.
