Because of this, California law gives HOA boards some latitude in adjusting HOA assessments. Civil Code Section 5605(b) allows boards to increase regular assessments up to 20% over the prior year and to impose a special assessment in an amount equal to up to 5% of the HOA's budget gross expenditures for the year.

An HOA has the authority to enforce the rules and regulations of the community using the community rules, or “bylaws and covenants.” These rules are considered “agreed upon” since homeowners approve them through board-elected representatives.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
In 2024, the California legislature passed an amendment that allowed online elections to be held within HOAs. It recognized that this could open the door to digital vote manipulation within the HOA's management, though, so the state mandated that each HOA election needed to have an independent inspector of elections.
