If
your home is located in a neighborhood
that has a “Homeowners Association”,
Virginia State Law requires that the
seller give you a copy of the “Homeowners
Association” restrictive covenants,
annual operating budget, special assessments
and other information. In some neighborhoods
you have 72 hours once you receive the
“Homeowners Property Association
Package” to either void the contract
or to agree to the association package
restrictions and sign the appropriate
addendum that you accept them. You can
contact us, or the Virginia Real Estate
Board to receive information regarding
the Virginia Property Owners’
Association Act. We can send you a brochure
that has been provided to us by the
Virginia Real Estate Board about the
statues, which are enumerated in Title
55, Chapter 26 of the Code of Virginia. |
