As the land in Ashumet Valley was developed an association was formed to promote and enforce the rights of all property owners, and manage covenants, and improvements to any areas dedicated to community use in Ashumet Valley. In 1985 the association incorporated to become Ashumet Valley Property Owners, Inc and adopted by-laws which are in use today, and which along with the articles of incorporation, provide the formal governing structure for the benefit of all owners and tenants of properties in the community. In 1999 the existing covenants expired and were not renewed.
