HOAs in LA County enforce CC&Rs through the Davis-Stirling Act. Fines require notice and hearing. CC&R amendments typically need 67% member approval. Enforcement must be uniform and non-discriminatory.
Under the Davis-Stirling Act, HOAs enforce Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) as the primary governing document. Before imposing fines or penalties, the board must provide at least 10 days written notice specifying the violation and offer a hearing before the board or a committee (Civil Code §5855). Fines typically range from $50 to $200 per violation, escalating for repeated offenses, per the HOA's adopted fine schedule. CC&R amendments generally require approval by 67% of the membership unless the CC&Rs specify a different threshold. Enforcement must be uniform — selective enforcement is a defense against any fine or action. Operating rules adopted by the board require 28 days notice and member comment before taking effect (Civil Code §4360). Void CC&R provisions include those that discriminate based on protected classes or violate state law preemptions.
Fines per the HOA schedule, typically $50–$200 per occurrence, escalating for repeated violations. Persistent non-compliance may result in loss of common area privileges, liens, or court action to compel compliance.
