Our Purpose

What is a Home Owners' Association?

Home Owner Associations are established by developers of new communities to transfer responsibility for maintenance of all common areas and for implementation of the legal documents established by the developers to operate the association.

The Association, not local government, is responsible because the land is privately owned. When the developers eventually sold all the homes and went on to build another project, they transferred management responsibilities to a newly created Homeowners Association.

The White Hill Square Homeowners Association (WHSHOA) is an organization of 367 households. A buyer automatically becomes a member with the purchase of a home within the development. As a member, he/she has a voice and vote in the association's affairs. These votes are cast during annual or special meetings of the general membership.

The WHSHOA is an incorporated, non-profit organization operating under a recorded land agreement through which each land owner in a described area is automatically a member. Each member is subject to a charge for a proportionate share of expenses for maintenance of common property and support of other necessary activities of the organization.

The major responsibility of the association is to protect your investment and enhance the value of the property owned by the members. This is done by providing for the physical maintenance and operation of the shared property.

The Association has other responsibilities too, such as, enforcing the guidelines and architectural controls established by the developers, and setting up an effective communications system among the homeowners.

To assure the homeowner of a well run organization, Amity Associates, a professional management firm, has been retained as an integral part of the operation of the association. Professional management will insure that the association functions, as a viable business organization, protecting the homeowners' valuable investment. The management staff will coordinate and supervise the maintenance, financial and architectural facets of the association.
