Rees Broome, PC Community Associations December 2011

Community associations derive substantially all of their authority and duties from their recorded restrictive covenants, bylaws and articles of incorporation ("governing documents"). Applicable law (e.g., the Condominium and Homeowner Association Acts) supplements and sometimes expands upon the rights and duties created by the governing documents, but the governing documents usually dictate how community associations operate. Thus, it is imperative that the governing documents remain current, consistent with evolving laws and help, rather than hinder, community governance and operations. As a result, we recommend that associations periodically review all of their governing documents and update the same as necessary.
