Best Answer

As with other associations, there should be covenants, conditions, restrictions, regulations, bylaws and rules documenting the mission and how the organization is governed. The governing documents will include information about membership, voting rights, property rights, board of directors, officers and their duties, annual and other meetings, employment conditions and terminations for employees, if any, and so forth.

For example, members might elect a board (or fill rotating vacancies), which then appoints officers. Or the members may elect an "executive director" (or president) who is a member of the board, or the members might directly elect the officers, which collectively become the board.

You can consider that these kinds of associations are essentially private democracies.

I would like to find out how I can have my property exempted from our local property owners association?

If you purchased your property subject to the by-laws and rules & regulations of a Homeowner's Association you cannot remove your property from the association. All the other owners have the right to expect that each owner must follow the rules and pay their share in the assessments and maintenance fees. Removing your property from the association would mean that you could not share in any of the benefits of the association, including amenities, roadways, common area parking, trash removal, sewer service, master insurance coverage and so forth. There would be no way to accommodate your property separately from the common elements owned by all owners. As an alternative, you can remove yourself from the association by selling your property to a new owner.


Can home owners association board exempt themselves from new rule they created?

No. The association board members, presumed to be owners in the association, are governed by the CC&Rs, the By-laws and the rules the same way all owners are governed. Often, sadly, board members choose to ignore these agreements that they make with all other owners, especially when they are elected by members. Read your governing documents to determine how to gather owners to collaborate with each other to document rules violations by board members and keep that documentation in board meeting minutes. Sheding light on these issues, sometimes is curative.
