Full Breakdown
Under Midwest City Code of Ordinances section 38-50.5, any subdivision required to form a homeowners association must have its governing documents spell out mandatory membership for every lot owner, bylaws, maintenance-assessment covenants running with the land, responsibility for liability insurance, and the HOA's exclusive authority to enforce its own rules: the city bears no enforcement responsibility. The documents must also give the HOA power to collect and raise dues, charge special assessments, and place liens on delinquent owners, and no amendment affecting HOA-maintained amenities, private streets or floodplains may take effect without prior city approval.
Violations & Fines
HOA governing documents must give the city written consent to enforce compliance under section 38-50.7, including revoking approval and placing liens against property for unpaid HOA-related costs.
