A homeowners association (sometimes HOA) is an organization comprised of all owners of units in a housing development, which may or may not be part of a gated community.
United States
In the United States, the vast majority of homeowners associations are incorporated and are therefore governed by a board, which is in essence a private government. Other associations are informal and not forced upon residents; these are often called neighborhood associations.
Some of the developments that real estate developers build are common-interest developments, a category that includes planned-unit developments of single-family homes, condominiums, and cooperative apartments. Before the first unit is sold in one of these developments, the developer records restrictive covenants on all of the properties. These "run with the land", meaning that all successive buyers are bound by the same covenants as the original purchaser (though some jurisdictions require renewal after 20 or more years). These covenants, among other agreements, form the basis for the homeowners association.

@happymrlocust It's in homeowner associations. In some states, their regulatory power is as good as law.

@happymrlocust Not likely gov't laws, but homeowner's associations are stupid about "polluting the look of the neighborhood". Same w/ flags.
