COOPERATIVE HOUSING NOTICE

Important Information About Cooperative Ownership

Membership in the Eco Village Co-op involves purchasing shares in a cooperative corporation, not individual real estate ownership. Key differences include:

• Share Ownership: Members own shares in the cooperative, not individual units

• Occupancy Rights: Share ownership provides the right to occupy a specific unit

• Democratic Governance: Members participate in cooperative decision-making

• Mutual Responsibility: Members share common expenses and responsibilities

• Transfer Restrictions: Share transfers may require board approval

• Financing Differences: Cooperative financing differs from traditional mortgages

Prospective members should consult with legal and financial professionals familiar with cooperative housing before making membership commitments.

• Energy-efficient building design and renewable energy systems

• Sustainable building materials and construction practices

• Local food production and permaculture practices

• Community sharing to reduce individual consumption

However, we cannot guarantee specific environmental outcomes, and actual performance may vary based on numerous factors beyond our control.
