Info for Home Buyers & Real Estate Agents

Association Disclosure Packets are required to be given to ALL people purchasing within the HOA. You can request a packet via email to: realestate@svhoa.org or the other methods listed on the Contact Us page. Remember to include the address of the property in question in order to research the current status of dues and/or liens owed to the SV HOA by that property.

We charge $100 for the copying, research, and assembly of each packet. We will delivery the packet within 14 days of the request as required by the law. We are unable to deliver the packet electronically so physical deliver is needed.

Remember, for EACH home being sold in Sovereign Village the Virginia Property Owners' Association Act requires the following information to be provided from the SV HOA, simply having copies of the Deed of Dedications and By-Laws is NOT ENOUGH to transfer to the buyer. We may make SOME of the information available here on the website, but other pieces of information required by law are only available through the request process and the Association Disclosure Packet that is provided.
