POA

A Property Owners Association (POA) is an organization that manages and represents the interest of property owners within a specific geographic area, often a community or neighborhood. Unlike Homeowners Associations (HOAs), which primarily focus on residential properties, POAs can encompass a broader range of property types, including commercial and mixed-use developments. POAs are typically non-profit corporations, and their main goals are to improve the community, advocate for property owners and manage any common area or facilities. POAs can manage roads, especially if the roads within their community are considered private.   Ours are private but accessible to the public. North Carolina G. S. Section 153A-301(D), provides that counties which contain a protected mountain ridge as defined by G.S. 113-A-206(6), may define services districts composed of subdivision lots within one or more contiguous subdivisions that are served by common public roads, to finance for the district the maintenance of such public roads that are either located in the district or provide access to some or all lots in the district from a state road, where some portion of those roads is not subject to compliance with the minimum standards of the Board of Transportation set forth in G.S. 136-102.6. This was taken from our Agreement with Haywood County dated October 8, 1996, which sets forth all agreements regarding maintenance of our roads.

Our POA serves as a type of umbrella organization over several small groups of residential properties developed over the years, some with Restrictions and/or Protective Covenants, others without any, and to manage our road system. We provide: (1) care and upkeep of our roads, (2) legal opinions necessary to resolve questions about property lines, easements and rights of way, (3) signage and name signs for members, (4) monthly updates to members, (5) seasonal décor at entrances and upkeep of other common areas, (6) mowing along roadways, leaf removal, culvert cleaning and maintenance, erosion control, (7) planned activities for members, and (8) general supervision of roads so that they stay clear for travel. 

We operate under By-Laws that have been recorded in the Office of the Register of Deeds for Haywood County in Book RB 932 at Pages 2484-2492. 

In maintaining our roads, the POA has access to rights-of-way on all properties.  Property owners cannot obstruct the right-of-way and cannot remove anything we have placed in the right-of-way.


HOA

HOAs manage a community of residential properties with recorded Restrictions or Protective Covenants.  All property owners are required to be members and pay dues.  They focus on enforcing the Restrictions or Protective Covenants to maintain property values such exterior design and landscaping standards. 


Differences between POAs and HOAs

Scope:

POAs typically have a wider scope, encompassing a larger variety of property types, while HOAS primarily focus on residential communities.

Focus:

HOAs are often more focused on maintaining property values and aesthetics, while POAs prioritize community development and advocacy.

Enforcement:

HOAs have more authority to enforce rules and regulations, including issuing fines while POAs generally have less enforcement power.
