HOA and Community Rules

  • Is there an HOA?
    No, The Woodstead has a resident-run Property Owners Association (POA), ensuring the community is managed transparently and reflects the needs of its residents.

  • What is a POA? How is it different from an HOA?
    A POA is a private agreement among property owners to manage and maintain shared community resources — like roads, wells, and amenities. Unlike a traditional HOA, a POA is not registered with the state and is less formal. It gives our community more flexibility while still allowing us to maintain quality and consistency.

  • Why did The Woodstead choose a POA instead of an HOA?
    The Woodstead is a small, gated community with 21 lots, shared water wells, and modest community amenities. Rather than take on the complexity, cost and bureaucracy of a state-regulated HOA, we chose a POA model that’s resident-friendly without government overreach.
