What is the official homeowners’ association for Punta Piedra?

The homeowners’ association responsible for the administration of Punta Piedra is Asociación de Colonos Punta Piedra, A.C.

The Association administers common areas, shared infrastructure, security and access functions, and other community services in accordance with its governing documents and applicable law.

Are there different HOAs for different parts of Punta Piedra?

No. Punta Piedra is administered as one community by Asociación de Colonos Punta Piedra, A.C., as reflected in the community’s governing documents.

What documents establish the Association’s authority and responsibilities?

  • The community’s CC&Rs / Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions

Do homeowners have to “join” the HOA?

Owner obligations are tied to property ownership within Punta Piedra and are not dependent on voluntarily joining the Association.

These obligations are reflected in the community’s governing and recorded documents and apply by virtue of ownership of property within the development.

Is it true that Mexican law says no one can be forced to join an association?

Mexican law generally protects individuals from being compelled to join a voluntary private association. That principle is distinct from obligations attached to ownership of property within a legally established private development.

In Punta Piedra, applicable owner obligations arise from property ownership and the community’s governing documents, not from optional membership in a social or voluntary organization.

Can other associations exist within Punta Piedra?

Yes. Property owners are free to organize or participate in voluntary associations, and the Association does not regulate private groups formed by individual owners.

However, the existence or activities of another private organization do not replace or supersede Asociación de Colonos Punta Piedra, A.C., alter Punta Piedra’s governing structure, or relieve property owners of obligations established by the community’s governing documents.

Do payments to another organization satisfy HOA obligations?

No. Payments made to another organization or group do not satisfy amounts owed to Asociación de Colonos Punta Piedra, A.C.

Owners should ensure that HOA payments are made directly to the Association through its authorized payment methods.

What are HOA dues used for?

HOA assessments support shared services and infrastructure throughout the community, including:

  • maintenance of common areas
  • security and access control
  • upkeep of community infrastructure
  • administrative and operational functions necessary to manage the community

The best starting point is the Association’s Governing Documents page, which provides the current bylaws, CC&Rs, the original State Decree, and historical documents for reference.

Questions about a specific property, account status, dues, or Association records should be directed to the Administration Office.
