I think some are using the HOA term loosely. I don't know if orchid land actually has a HOA, I know Hawaiian acres does not. If a group forms and calls themselves a Community association as does the acres, they are not a HOA. you need to look at your deed. if you have CCRS that specify a HOA then you have one. Many many states have all kinds of laws governing these. Don't confuse one with the other. Now that is a separate issue than mandatory road fees within a private road subdivision. Hawaii courts, the various counties, are all trying to address this issue. They worked years ago, when people actually took responsibility for themselves and helped maintain their roads. they certainly are not working now. It will be interesting to see where this all goes, especially in orchid land with 2 groups claiming 'ownership'.
