Changing Homeowners Association By-Laws?

Changing the rules involves changing everyones contracts. It requires 100% compliance, not a "majority", but everyone. You can not force a new contract on a property owner against their will.

I live in a gated community that is 60 years old. It is difficult to understand why an Association has the authority to pass some of its "by-laws." But, my impression is that the "political types" always take control of the Association Board. It is as if they meet in a secret place and then pass rules in an "open hearing." Frankly, I want some limits on use of the neighborhood land. Not trying to be "on your side" ; but, you are on to a great idea with signature drive project. Still, the board members really have some magical power to weave the outcome of votes to a result they want. I kind of see most of the battles of the newcomers vs. the long-timers. You really need to attend the board meetings and propose a list of changes with the backing of other members who support your general views. I guess majority rules; but, I am sure there are limits on the legality of an association's intrusion into your life. I am happy where I live; but, the rules are an imposition on many of the families. You really need to attack the problem as more than a RV issue. It is a freedom issue.

1st. ask the HOA president for a copy of the HOA administrative rules (Constitution). Check to see if the HOA has been following the administrative rules and if they have held the annual meetings as required by state laws, and was a quoram present.

Normally, the first residents in a subdivision will hold the meetings and elections for about two years and then stop from lack of interest.

If they failed to hold the annual meeting and failed to follow admin rules on electing officers, keeping records, etc, even missing one, the HOA is legally dead and can't enforce any covenants on anyone. You can do what ever you want as long as they don't contravene the city ordinances or other state laws.

If they are null and void, ask your title company to delete the covenants from your property records to remove future confusions.

Majority rule does not apply in any homeowners association that I know of. All of the ones I know of require 90% to change a by law. It is set up that way by the subdivision developer so that his rules apply until almost all the lots are sold. The developer owns the unsold lots. After that it is virtually impossible to change the rules. In your subdivision I'd bet there are a handful of people who object to allowing RVs which is probably enough to prevent a change. Check your homeowners association by laws to be sure.

nicely really, you won't be able to do some thing because they placed a hidden marker on them which will only be seen in case you enter the cheat buydebug yet nevertheless won't be able to be deleted, moved or cloned through any means.
