Governing Documents
CC&Rs, bylaws, rules, and meeting minutes in one package
Governing documents are the foundational legal documents that define how a homeowners association or condominium operates. They include the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), bylaws, articles of incorporation, rules and regulations, and recent meeting minutes. Buyers, attorneys, and lenders review these documents to understand the rights, obligations, and restrictions that come with owning a property in the community.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are CC&Rs?
CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) are the primary governing document for an HOA. They outline property use restrictions, maintenance responsibilities, assessment obligations, and the association's enforcement powers. CC&Rs are recorded with the county and run with the land.
Why do buyers need governing documents?
Governing documents reveal critical information about living in the community — including pet policies, rental restrictions, architectural review requirements, assessment amounts, and planned amenities. Buyers should review these before committing to purchase.
Are governing documents public record?
The Declaration (CC&Rs) and amendments are typically recorded with the county. However, bylaws, rules, budgets, and minutes are usually only available from the association or management company.
How often are governing documents updated?
CC&Rs and bylaws are amended infrequently (requiring owner vote). Rules and regulations can be updated by the board more frequently. We always provide the most current versions available.
