HOA guidelines, or Homeowners Association guidelines, refer to a set of rules and regulations established by a homeowners association (HOA) to govern and manage a residential community or neighborhood. These guidelines are typically outlined in a document called the "CC&R" (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) or the "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions."

​

It's important for homeowners and residents to familiarize themselves with the HOA guidelines for their community and adhere to them to maintain a harmonious living environment. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in fines, penalties, or other consequences, as outlined in the CC&R document. Homeowners can participate in HOA meetings and work with the board to propose changes to guidelines when necessary, following established procedures and community governance.
