Q: What does the HOA require when I sell my home?
A: It is the seller's (current homeowner) responsibility to alert the HOA of a change in ownership. This is done by completing the Property Transfer form (which can be found on the Documents & Forms page). This is typically filled out at the title company that closes the sale. This form will include your information and the new homeowner's information and must be forwarded to the HOA immediately upon closing.
Q: If I sell my home during the year, do I get a portion of the annual HOA dues that I paid in January?
A: YES, you do get a paritial reimbursement from the purchaser of your home. This is typically prorated by the title company that closes your sale, based on the date of your closing. This is why it is important for you to provide the Property Transfer form (on the Documents & Forms page) to the title company. The title company will typically contact the HOA to verify how much you paid and then charge the purchaser accordingly.
