A home owners association (HOA) is comprised of a group of property owners (you!) who have agreed to elect and be represented by a board of directors to acheive common interests among the members of the association.

In the state of Michigan there are two common types of associations that both do similar things and are often called the same thing, however they operate under different laws and rules. The Platted Subdivision is the type that Ashford Manor was setup with. An in depth description of the differences can be read here, however besides differing legal rules, the main thing most people notice is that in the second type, a Site Condominium, there is usually much more common property and a higher degree of control given to the association and thus its directors, like plowing roads, mowing all the lawns, etc.

Your board of directors are uncompensated volunteers and elected by you and your neighbors. The board does many behind the scenes duties, such as maintaining records, collecting assessments, and managing vendors hired to maintain our common areas. However due to how the association works, there are a few items that we get asked about that we can only assist with by making recomendations. Here are the most common:

• · Road conditions, such as pot holes
• · Saftey concerns, for example speeding
• · Fencing height

This is by no means exhustive, but since the association has a mixture of public and private components, we often will have to refer members to the local governments like Delta Township and Eaton County. We have compiled a list of common resources for your convenience, however we would be happy to help any member find a solution if asked!
