FAQ
Formation and Management of HOAs in Michigan The operation of an HOA is overseen by a board of directors who are charged with the duty to manage property, maintain records, and ensure compliance with both the association's bylaws and state regulations.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
The only way to force an HOA to enforce the rules is file for arbitration against the HOA or gain support from neighbors and recall the board. There is no FL government sector that watches over HOAs.
What are unenforceable HOA rules? Keep you out of court. Hush up litigation. Discriminate indiscriminately. Enter your home without cause or notice. String you out on the (clothes)line. Fine you for fun. Change rules on the fly. Demand you take down your dish.
In short, Bylaws govern how an HOA operates, outlining rules for board meetings, elections, and decision-making. Covenants, on the other hand, dictate what homeowners can and can't do with their property, from landscaping to exterior design.
Any changes to the Articles of Incorporation or the bylaws must be documented in the county in which the community is located.
HOA fees are considered “debts” under the FDCPA, and homeowners are protected “consumers.” Victims of unfair debt collection practices can file a complaint with the state's Attorney General's Office, the FTC, or the CFPB.
In many states, covenants only last 30 years, becoming unenforceable after they expire. However, North Carolina isn't one of these states.
Under the newly enacted Homeowners' Energy Policy Act (the “Act”), signed into law by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on July 8, 2024, HOAs can no longer prohibit unit owners/homeowners from installing a wide range of energy-efficient upgrades.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
