California Hoa Rule Compliance
Summary
California HOAs cannot enforce rules that conflict with state or federal law, as per the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act. Members must be given notice and a hearing before fines are imposed. Civil Code Section 4205 ensures state law prevails over conflicting HOA rules. Civil Code 4350 outlines criteria for valid and enforceable rules, requiring them to be reasonable and within the boards authority. If an HOA uses automated devices for speed enforcement, rules must align with CVC 22425 and 22426. Fines without a hearing or based on CVC violations may be challenged. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation
