Frequently Asked Questions

If you have questions not answered here, please ask the HOA board directly. 

Q: What is the purpose of the HOA? 

A: According to Investopedia, “Homeowner associations (HOAs) are usually formed within communities or neighborhoods of single-family homes or multiple-unit buildings (such as condominiums). An HOA is typically established to make and enforce rules regarding the properties within the jurisdiction. An HOA is comprised of and run by the community's residents. Membership in an HOA is usually a requirement to buy a home within a community where an HOA has been established.”

Q: What are the rules for Mews at the Commons HOA? 

A: Like all HOAs, Tualatin Mews at the Commons HOA has a governing document that was filed with the county recorder called “CC&Rs”. 

Q: What are CC&Rs?

Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are legally binding to all property owners and indirectly to residents. They become enforceable upon the recording of property owners on county records. In the case of Mews at the Commons, a secondary set of CC&Rs for the Commons was filed for multiple properties surrounding the Commons, but that association is no longer active. The Tualatin commercial CIO is the closest active body that liaises between downtown properties and the city government. 

Q: Where can I find the CC&Rs?

A: An official copy can be obtained from the county recorder’s office; however, we have a PDF transcribed from the official copy that is easier to read and search. There are also essential excerpts posted online. These resources are available on our CC&Rs Documents page. 

Q: What do I do if I see a violation? 

A: As a community, hopefully, we are mutually interested in encouraging a friendly and neighborly environment where we look for ways to help each other out rather than police each other to find fault. Most people respond to encouraging reminders, and we all share a common interest in maintaining.  peaceful community. However, if you have a concern that is not being addressed, please report it on the Contact page.
