DOCUMENTS THAT GOVERN HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS A. TYPES OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS
Governing documents of homeowner associations are divided into two basic types, documents that restrict the use of the property or the behavior of residents concerning the property and documents that govern the corporate entity embodying the association. Association documents that restrict the use of the property or the behavior of owners concerning the property are:
The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, commonly known as the “CC&Rs”;
The Rules and Regulations; and Architectural Guidelines.
Association documents that govern the corporate entity embodying the association are:
The Articles of Incorporation; The Bylaws; and Resolutions of the Board of Directors.
ASSOCIATION DOCUMENTS THAT RESTRICT THE USE OF THE PROPERTY OR THE BEHAVIOR OF OWNERS
The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, commonly known as the “CC&Rs,” is a document that creates the scheme of enforceable covenants and restrictions that run with the property. As a document that places restrictions on property, the CC&Rs are universally recorded with the county recorder. CC&Rs typically discuss: 2 Shaw & Lines, LLC – 2007 © www.shawlines.com
Applicability to the property within the Association; Assessment collection and the Assessment lien; Required association Insurance; Maintenance of the common areas; Member’s right concerning the common areas; and Enforcement of the restrictions; and The restrictions on the use of property.
Attached as Exhibit A, please see a sample set of common CC&Rs.
Most association CC&Rs allow associations to draft reasonable Rules and Regulations that explain the restrictions found in the CC&Rs. The Rules and Regulations normally are developed by the association’s board of directors and have the same enforceability as the CC&Rs, even though the Rules and Regulation, for the most part, are not recorded with the county recorder. Rules and Regulations may only explain regulations found in the CC&Rs. Rules and Regulations may not contradict provisions of the CC&Rs, nor may they add restrictions to the property not found in the CC&Rs. If Rules and Regulations conflict with the CC&R's, then they are generally unenforceable. Due to the specific nature of Rules and Regulations, a sample is not attached hereto.
Architectural Guidelines also derive there authority from the CC&Rs of an association. The Architectural Guidelines usually provide a framework for the decision making process of the Architectural Committee. The Architectural Guidelines have the 3 Shaw & Lines, LLC – 2007 © www.shawlines.com
same enforceability as the CC&Rs, even though they, for the most part, are not recorded with the county recorder. Due to the specific nature of Architectural Guidelines, a sample is not attached hereto.
CORPORATE ENTITY EMBODYING THE ASSOCIATION
The Articles of Incorporation establish the association as a legal entity and must meet certain statutory criteria as found in the Arizona Non Profit Act.1 The Articles of Incorporation constitute the corporate charter and is filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission. Typical Articles of Incorporation include provisions that: 1. 2. Create the non-profit corporation embodying the homeowners association; Provide the legal name of the association. It is very important to use this name consistently when discussing the association, even if there are different marketing names for the community. Please make sure that your homeowners know the name of the association. Otherwise owners call the management office and become frustrated, as we may not know all of the various marketing names in a large master planned community; 3. 4. Provide the principle office of the association; Identify the statutory agent. Who do you want to receive notice of any certified mail, lawsuits, etc; 5. 6. 7. 8. Discuss the purpose and the character of the business; Discuss who shall be members of the association; Create the initial Board of Directors’ Create the initial officers of the Board of Directors;
Arizona Revised Statutes §§ 10-3101 through 10-11702.
4 Shaw & Lines, LLC – 2007 © www.shawlines.com
Limit the liability of the directors and officers; Discuss how the association can be dissolved.
Attached as Exhibit B, please see a sample set of common Articles.
The Bylaws of an association set out the procedures for the internal government and operation of the association. The Bylaws guide the association concerning how owners may vote regarding corporate issues. The Bylaws also regulate the conduct of the association’s board of directors as well as outline how an association’s board of directors is elected. Typical Bylaws also: 1. Discuss how to call, notice and operate meetings of the members and annual meetings; 2. Discuss how to call, notice and operate meetings of the Board of Directors 3. Discuss the Powers of the Board, duties of the Board and how the Board may be elected, removed or replaced; 4. Discuss the officer positions of the Association.
Attached as Exhibit C, please see a sample set of common Bylaws.
Resolutions of the Board of directors are documents that memorialize policy decisions of the Association. Resolutions normally spell out certain policies and procedures of the Association, such as enforcement policies or assessment collection policies. Resolutions have the same effect as other Association documents so long as the Resolutions do not conflict with provisions of the Association Documents.
