Most groups aim for a refresh every two or three years and avoid going any longer than five years. Times change, and so do your members. Updating your bylaws allows you to keep them current. For example, social media platforms have changed how many board members get elected.

In order to amend the bylaws, a member must make a motion and present the amendment during a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. The motion to amend the bylaws must be approved by a supermajority vote of the full Board at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board.

Other states are more specific about rule change procedures. For instance, in California, Civil Code Section 4360 contains provisions on how an HOA board must go about rule changes. ing to these provisions, the board must provide the membership notice at least 28 days prior to changing the rules.
