Covenants Term
Owners Association
The nonprofit corporate entity created by the declaration to maintain common areas, administer assessments, and enforce the covenants. This guide is independent of any such association.
Covenant and governance terms come from the recorded documents that bind every lot: what may be built, what is owed, and how standards are administered.
Owners Association in Skyecroft practice
The Skyecroft Homeowners Association maintains common property, collects assessments, and operates architectural review through its board and management company. This guide is not the association and does not speak for it. Any question about dues, rules, approvals, violations, or amenity access should go to the association or its manager, and the answer should be obtained in writing when it affects a purchase or project.
What to verify
- The association's current management contact and owner portal.
- Current budget, financial statements, and reserve balance.
- Any pending litigation, violations, or special assessments.
