A: It would not be possible to know for sure without reviewing the documents. Generally "lot owners" is your real estate for which the HOA has architectural control. "Personal Property" most likely refers to tangible property such as a car which might be parked in a common area. "Common Grounds" usually refers to property owned by the HOA and maintained for the benefit of all property owners.
