Once you buy a home that's part of an HOA, you automatically become a member of the HOA. HOA rules are legally binding, and you must adhere to all rules and regulations in the governing document. Yes, there are bylaws that you may not like, but there are no HOA loopholes.
More important, most inium documents were written by developer lawyers for the primary benefit of the developer. As a board member, you have a responsibility to ensure that owners can live with your condo documents. The declaration and bylaws of your association are your constitution.
In some states, such as California, HOA bylaws are considered public record and must be made available upon request. In other states, such as Virginia, HOA bylaws are not considered public record and therefore are not required to be made publicly available.
Homeowners often ask whether local laws supersede the rules and regulations set forth by their homeowner association (HOA). The short answer is yes, local laws do supersede HOA rules.
House Rules are different from Bylaws in that they can be implemented and changed by the Board of Directors without the need for unit owner approval – which means that they can be changed more easily. Bylaws will very often set forth restrictions on the use of units in the condo.
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, or “CC&Rs” The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, or “CC&Rs”, is the primary and most important governing document for a inium or planned development, and is required for all iniums and planned developments.
