Following Township Ordinances and Removing the Bylaws

Question:

We have some members in our HOA that want to completely do away with our By Laws and instead adopt the Township ordinances instead. Is this allowable under HOA’s

– Barbara

 

Answer:

Hi Barbara,

The bylaws are generally legally enforceable as long as the HOA exists, they are not expired, and their provisions do not conflict with the law. They are an important part of the HOA’s governing documents. Moreover, they are different from township ordinances as they also address community-specific issues and operational guidelines including elections, voting, meetings, and more. Homeowners may instead consider amending the bylaws to be more in line with township ordinances. For further guidance, kindly consult a lawyer.
