Every residential owner or lessee automatically becomes a member of the Kaaawa Beach Owners Association, referred to by most people simply as the Road Association. Along with the right to vote on association matters, members also share the financial responsibilities, including annual dues and special assessments, if any. And everyone needs to be aware that the Road Association has the legal right to collect unpaid dues, including placing liens on members' property.

The declaration and bylaws of the Road Association prohibit residents from storing trailers, campers, boats, construction equipment or building materials on Kaaawa's roads, and the Board of Directors can make additional rules restricting parking.

In order to answer some of the questions that come up regularly about the legal status and powers of the Road Association, the primary legal documents of the association are available here (all dated August 17, 1982). You will need Adobe Acrobat or other software that can read files in pdf format.
