Association Powers and Decision Making

Do HOA decisions need to adhere to any standards?

How can an owner change or challenge an HOA decision?

Is there a government agency with authority over HOA activities?

When the HOA needs to get legal advice in order to respond to an owner, can it charge the owner for attorney’s fees?

A homeowner association is typically not entitled to recover its attorney’s fees from an owner unless it prevails in a court proceeding or arbitration involving the enforcement of the governing documents. However, some association’s governing documents do allow for this so a review of your specific governing documents is needed.
