About the Property Owners' Association Act and
"Disclosure"
According to the CODE OF
VIRGINIA TITLE 55. Property and Conveyances. Chapter 26: Virginia Property Owners'
Association Act (POA), property owners and homeowner associations are
required to disclose a property's standing according to the HOA covenants and rules and
regulations to any contract purchaser.
§55-511. Contract disclosure statement; right of cancellation.
A. Subject to the provisions of subsection F of § 55-512,
a person selling a lot shall disclose in the contract that (i) the lot
is located within a development which is subject to the Virginia
Property Owners' Association Act, (ii) the Act requires the seller to
obtain from the property owners' association an association disclosure
packet and provide it to the purchaser, (iii) the purchaser may cancel
the contract within three days after receiving the association
disclosure packet or being notified that the association disclosure
packet will not be available, and (iv) the right to receive the
association disclosure packet and the right to cancel the contract are
waived conclusively if not exercised before settlement.
Helpful Tips: The POAA
allows associations 14 days to provide the packet, which is valid for 30
days. Please request your packet accordingly.

What Does the POAA Mean To Me?
What the Property Owners Association Act (POAA)
means to you is that YOU, the homeowner or seller, must request a DISCLOSURE PACKET
from the homeowner association. The packet is
to be given to your purchaser. By doing
this, you have DISCLOSED to the purchaser the status of your property in the
eyes of the Homeowner Association. So that any violations or
assessment delinquencies are known to them prior to taking ownership.
For more information about the
Virginia Property Owners' Association Act, please contact the
HOA Office.
