Forced home-owner assocation?

[kawill]

Hello,

I live in rural North Carolina and on a non state supported road. There is about 25 homes on land lots from 5 to 200 acres. We have one home owner trying to start a home owners assocation here. Not all want to join.

My question. Can someone force a home owner to join a post purchase home owners aassocation? There was no arrangments for this when we bought here. The whole reason for this is to force people to pay for the up keep of the road. This person is aginst the state taking over the road.

Any info would be great.

Thanks, Keith

You'd need a lawyer (you'll want one to start the HOA anyhow).
I'm not sure you can force him to join.
Who owns the road?
I'm almost positive it doesn't take a unanimous approval to get the state to take over the road, however.
Are there any covenants on these lots that provide for the eventual establishment of an HOA?
