CISividual

CISividual refers to an individual who identifies with or is perceived to align with CIS principles or values. The term itself is a portmanteau, combining "CIS" with "individual." CIS, in this context, is an acronym for "Common Interest Society." A Common Interest Society is a type of homeowners association or community association that governs a development of individually owned units, such as condominiums, townhouses, or single-family homes within a planned community. These associations are established to maintain common areas, enforce rules and regulations, and manage shared finances.

Therefore, a CISividual is a person who resides within a Common Interest Society and is subject to its governing documents and regulations. They are typically homeowners or residents who participate in the community association, either through direct involvement or by adhering to its established covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs). The responsibilities and rights of a CISividual are outlined in the association's governing documents, which often include articles of incorporation, bylaws, and CC&Rs. Their interactions within the community are shaped by these agreements, which aim to preserve property values and enhance the quality of life for all residents.
