Having a Homeowner's Association can be a great experience for some groups. The reason for this is that Homeowner's Associations provide services to the community that you would otherwise need to do for yourself. The services that they provide can be a great ease off your back. For example, most Homeowner's Associations provide snow removal in the winter, which means that you as a resident do not have to worry about removing snow during the winter. This means no more getting up early to shovel the sidewalk and clear out the driveway before you can leave for work. Homeowner's Associations can also provide landscaping for the common areas. In order to provide these services your homeowner's association charges all of the residents a monthly fee, which is called dues.
