When you buy a new home that is part of a community, you will likely be required to pay fees to the Homeowners Association. Before you buy a home that has an HOA, you should be aware of the HOA fees you’ll be required to pay and what exactly they cover.
HOA fees typically cover the upkeep and maintenance of any community common areas, including lawn care, landscaping and snow removal. HOAs may also cover city services, like trash removal, or water and electric for community areas. HOA fees are also used to cover any community amenities.
