What Is Community Association Management in Texas?
Community association management involves handling the day-to-day functions assigned to a homeowners association, condominium association, property owners association, townhome association or other type of residential community association.
Engaging a professional management company lets the board and developer focus on the decisions that require their attention, while the management company handles much of the daily work of operating the association.

Management Built Around Your Association
Each community association has its own governing documents that set requirements for the association’s operations and the rights and responsibilities of its owners.
Empire South Association Management uses the association’s governing documents to create consistent processes for routine association matters.
When an issue or requirement necessitates input from the board of directors, developer, association counsel or another professional, Empire South Association Management will ensure that the matter is appropriately communicated to the correct party.
Day-to-Day Management, Taken Care Of
Empire South Association Management performs many of the association’s administrative tasks on behalf of the board of directors so board members can focus on governing the community and the association.
Examples of administrative functions include:
- Supporting the board in preparing for meetings
- Communicating with property owners regarding issues or concerns related to the association
- Maintaining and updating the association’s records
- Completing other administrative tasks resulting from board-approved actions
Empire South Association Management also assists in obtaining bids and proposals from potential vendors or service providers, reviewing bid and proposal responses with the board and coordinating with approved vendors and service providers. The board remains responsible for selecting and approving the vendors and services used by the association.
Empire South Association Management manages developer-controlled communities during all phases of development.
At the start of a project, we will work with the developer to establish operational procedures for recurring issues.
Once those operational procedures are developed, we can handle many day-to-day responsibilities, reducing the developer's routine involvement.
Over time, responsibility for certain community expenses can shift from the developer to the association. As those responsibilities change, budgets, administrative policies and vendor coordination can also be modified. Empire South Association Management can help the association prepare for its eventual transfer to owner control.
Empire South Association Management provides management services for a variety of community associations in Texas. These include:
- Homeowners associations
- Property owners associations
- Condominium associations
- Grazing associations
- RV and tiny home associations
- Developer-controlled communities
- Owner-controlled communities
Each type of association has its own governing structure and operational requirements. Our management process starts with identifying which responsibilities have been assigned to the association and then developing consistent processes for performing them.
