The Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Homeowners Association (HOA) were established on July 18, 1990, to create the HOA as a non-profit corporation. These documents provide the framework for the organization and powers of the HOA. They also provide for the election of the Board of Directors, and the powers of the members of the HOA, which are the residents. The HOA Board of Directors is empowered by these documents to enforce the Covenants, subject to the laws of Georgia.

The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, or the “Covenants”constitute an agreement between the HOA and purchasers of homes in Waters Edge of how the properties may be used and the agreed-upon practices and procedures for living in a covenant neighborhood.

The Covenants can sometimes be difficult to understand, so an interpretation of some of the Covenants, as practiced, was developed by the Board and published as the Waters Edge Owners Association (WEOA) Handbook. This handbook is updated and distributed periodically.

The Building and Design Guildelines are required for all building projects and they are strictly enforced. If you are planning to build on your property or begin a project, please contact the HOA before you start.

Collectively, these five documents are the strength of Waters Edge, and they provide for a stable, well-run community that the homeowners can take pride in.
