Loudoun County, VA HOA Rules: CC&R Enforcement (2026)

Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) in Loudoun County run with the land and bind all property owners upon purchase. Under the Virginia POA Act, associations enforce CC&Rs through a graduated process: written notice identifying the specific violation, a reasonable cure period (typically 10–30 days depending on the declaration), a hearing opportunity if the violation is not corrected, and then fines or other sanctions. Common CC&R enforcement issues in Ashburn include unapproved exterior modifications, parking violations (commercial vehicles, trailers, inoperative vehicles), maintenance of yards and exterior appearance, noise complaints, and short-term rental restrictions. The association board has authority under VA Code §55.1-1811 to adopt rules that supplement CC&Rs. Selective enforcement is a valid defense — owners can challenge enforcement actions if the association has not applied the same standard to similarly situated properties. Virginia's statute of limitations for covenant enforcement actions is 5 years from the date the violation began. Associations must maintain consistent enforcement records to withstand legal challenge.
