FAQ
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 winding up process includes, among other things, giving notice of the dissolution to creditors of the HOA (Corporations Code § 8618), paying all known liabilities and debts (Corporations Code §§ 8713, 8714), selling assets (Corporations Code § 8710), and distributing any remaining assets to homeowners.
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.
Laws always supersede governing documents IF they conflict and the law applies to your HOA. In California, the Davis-Stirling Act may take precedent over general corporation codes because it's specific to HOAs.
A home can be foreclosed on for many kinds of debts, not just a mortgage. For example, Home Owner's Association (HOA) can foreclose in some cases for unpaid dues and assessments.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.

While you can propose rule changes through proper channels, there's no legal way to simply ignore or “get around” the HOA's covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that you agreed to when purchasing in the community.
The new HOA law in California, passed in September 2024, includes amendments to the Davis-Stirling Act of 1985. These amendments make it possible for HOAs to conduct elections online rather than through costly and time-consuming paper balloting.
