Current TOA Governing Documents Edit page

Tessera was incorporated, in 2008, via a Certificate of Incorporation of the TOA (see pdf below) which is pursuant to the provisions of the Non-Profit Corporation Act of NM (NMSA 1978, Chapter 8), which can also be found here: 53-8-1 to 53-8-99.

Since Tessera is operated as a Home Owner Association, it has to follow:
 

• the Article 16 - Homeowner Association, of Chapter 47 - Property Law, of the 2019 New Mexico Statutes, also called the Amended (2019) NM HOA Act: it can be found here, and below, as a searchable pdf;
• The 2019 NM HOA Act amends the 2013 NM HOA Act, which can also be found below, as a searchable pdf;

When it comes to Tessera itself, the main document governing the Tessera Owners Association is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs for short), and its four Amendments. These are accessible below as 5 separate pdfs.

Another version of the CC&Rs including all the amendments can also be found below. This pdf version is searchable and much easier to navigate, unlike all the documents scanned from the Santa Fe County Clerk Office. 

The Board can, at its discretion, impose more Rules and Regulations. 
It did so in 2019 (updated 2020-02-26). See pdf below.

Home and property aesthetics, allowed amenities and changes to them are governed by the Design Guidelines, currently in the 3rd revision.


Finally, we are governed by Federal, State, and County laws, all of which are accessible through the Homeowners Protection Bureau for New Mexico.
