Question:
A new rules committee was created by the board. We were recently mailed about a five-page set of new rules. Such as no longer allowed to have hummingbird feeders. Plants are limited. Size of statues on your flower bed. Some of us are wondering how a select few were able to make these rules with no input from the majority. Does this sound right? Confused in Maine.

Answer:
Hi Tammy,
The HOA board typically has the authority to pass resolutions and add new operating rules. If these new rules, though, require a change in the CC&Rs, then the HOA board should seek approval from the membership. Check your governing documents for more information.
