CHARLOTTE, N.C. - April 23, 2021 - Each homeowners association (HOA) is governed by its own rules and regulations. These policies are put in place to maintain consistency across the association and hold everyone to the same expectations. In turn, this can help protect property values and reduce conflict. Kuester Management Group has released a statement to the press regarding why periodically reviewing rules is important for HOAs.
"Communities are constantly evolving," says Bryan Kuester, President of Kuester Management Group. "New issues can pop up that were not a problem in years past and need to be addressed. At the same time, some rules may become outdated and no longer relevant."
With regular rule review, associations can ensure that the policies make sense for the community, says Kuester. It provides an opportunity for clarification and making adjustments to fit the current association needs. If there has been an influx of inquiries or issues around electric car charging, solar panels, noise violations, or other topics, they can be addressed in a timely manner.
In addition, cities and states periodically update or add new laws and regulations. Since these often supersede the HOA's governing documents, the board should adjust its rules to comply and minimize potential conflict. Working with a property manager can help the association to stay abreast of current policies.
"Rules and regulations are not set in stone," says Kuester. "They are meant to protect the best interest of homeowners and the community. Give members a say in what changes they would like to see, and then show them that action is being taken."
