List of Resolutions

An HOA Resolution (or Board Resolution) is a formal, legally binding decision or rule enacted by a Homeowners Association’s Board of Directors.

While a community’s core legal framework such as the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and Bylaws establishes the board’s legal authority, resolutions are used to establish specific operational policies, enact administrative procedures, or clarify ambiguities within those overarching governing documents.

As a reminder if you are renting your home, it is the homeowners’ responsibility to educate and enforce the Governing Documents with your renters. Ultimately, you are responsible for your home and your renters’ actions, including notices and fines incurred by your renters.
