Many people do, approximately 1-4 Americans to be exact. \u00a0Living in a neighborhood that is part of a homeowner association has its perks. The associations help maintain the overall aesthetic of a neighborhood, increasing the profitability of the homes around it and most often have a swimming pool and other recreational activities to enjoy.<\/p><p>However, Indianapolis homeowners have to adhere to the sometimes strict regulations that are spelled out in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopb.co\/indiana\">HOA\u2019s CC&amp;Rs<\/a>\u00a0(covenants, conditions &amp; restrictions). Therefore if you plan on moving to a home within an HOA, you need to be aware of not only the fees associated with the upkeep of the neighborhood but also the bylaws in which you will have to adhere to with maintaining your own home.<\/p><p>So, if you are planning to undertake a home renovation project such as house painting, you would need approval to ensure compliance with the community\u2019s rules and regulations. HOA rules vary from one community to another, but there are basics every homeowner should get familiar with when undertaking a new home improvement project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5acb0cac elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5acb0cac\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5a3dac88\" data-id=\"5a3dac88\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-470938da elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"470938da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 08-05-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is a HOA?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-641f2466 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"641f2466\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is a governing body operated by an elected board of directors or volunteers to manage a residential community.
