RULES & REGULATIONS


BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR RULE ADOPTION


Some basic rulemaking principles apply to all associations. The substance of the rules must be consistent with applicable federal and state statutes, local ordinances, government regulations, case law, and the association’s declaration and bylaws. Restrictions contained in rules and regulations must fall within the scope of an association’s rulemaking authority.1


In order to


be enforceable, rules must be reasonable and should be clearly worded so that homeowners can easily understand and comply with the rules. Rules should be customized so that they address those issues which are relevant to the particular property and its homeowners. The rulemaking procedure used by an association must conform with statutory requirements and the governing documents.2
