When one buys property in a condo, the agreement of sale usually includes acknowledgement of receipt of the condo documents. Something similar is not the case when a house is sold on a private road with a statutory road association and by-laws, correct?

When we see that a property is listed, we make sure the seller has the most recent by-laws to give to their agent but beyond that we are not part of the sale. Is there any way to require acknowledgement of receipt of the by-laws as part of the sale? We most often have no involvement in the sale except to give proof of payment for the assessment.

(For reference, we are a 68 (!) member road association in a very old subdivision with properties now selling for $1,000,000 plus.)

Usually what I do is when I see a for sale sign, I will contact the selling agent and notify them about our association, tell them about the dues and if the owner owes anything. As was previously stated, they are required by law to list in their advertisement that our road association. Title companies contact us to provide a closing report about the home. We obtain from the title company or selling agent the name and contact info about our new owner. We have a real estate agent on our board who keeps us informed about any listings. You may find that a real estate agent can sign you up to a notification list about any homes/land for sale for your roads.
