What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
Long story short version, Original developer seems to had recorded a HOA in section one but wasn't included in any signing documents and the contract only referenced a recorded document where they bought the land off someone didn't list a HOA only the document where they bought property. listed in it was to have been a HOA name but a new developer bought up lands around the small developer and they ended up selling the remaining lots to the Bigger developer. Then we got a billing in the mail by a Property management company saying they were hired to establish a HOA, our section challenged and they responded that it was a mistake and we were not in that HOA.
Then the New Developer recorded a deed restriction for their section and future sections and made a new name for their HOA and exempting our section as lands not included in their HOA. that was late 2004.
2014 a New Property Management company for that HOA sent our section another billing for 2 years, we challenged that and they later responded that it was a mistake once again and we were not in their HOA.
Thought that was the end of it, till I was bored and was examining that HOA's filings and developers filings on recorded documents and came across a attached exhibit in 2012 listing our section and where the developer or the HOA executes a code of regulations listing our section even though their first exhibit doesn't list our section in it. And the HOA seems to have changed their name and is calling it something else that seems to imply it's representing the entire community.
it seems it might be an error and they used the original code of regulations they attempted to establish us in it back in 2004.
Heard where HOA's change names to circumvent the system and drag non HOA sections into theirs, is their time limits where someone records a known defective document and hopes nobody reads every recorded document their doing and then becomes binding if not challenged before a certain time frame?
when it all started we was called a CommunityName Property Owners association, new developer attempted to place us into it, then they made a New HOA Name called CommunityName Home Owners Association, Now their going by just the CommunityName and slipped that code of regulations with our sections legal descriptions in it. In Florida 7 years a recorded instrument becomes legal for any defects in it for special warranty deeds does that apply here in Ohio for HOA recordings???
