Documents
Official governing documents, historical covenants, plat maps, and meeting records for the Indian Village Community Association. Most documents are hosted on the IVCA Archive.
Current Governing Document
The IVCA Constitution and Bylaws (2024) is the primary governing document for the Indian Village Community Association. Adopted by the membership on January 24, 2024 and filed with the Allen County Recorder, it establishes the association’s structure, membership rules, Board of Directors, elections, dues, meetings, and bylaws — all in a single document governed by Indiana Code 32-25.5.

Historical Protective Covenants
Indian Village was developed across eight separate subdivisions between 1927 and 1956, each with its own set of recorded covenants. These covenants are historical documents — they either have expired or lack enforceable mechanisms. The 2024 Constitution and Bylaws is now the sole governing document for the association. These covenants are preserved here for reference and historical interest.
