Virginia's § 55.1-1819 empowers a property owners' association to adopt and enforce rules governing the development, including architectural and use restrictions in the recorded declaration. Enforcement requires due process: written notice, a chance to correct, and a hearing with 14 days' notice before charges or suspension of privileges may be imposed.
Section 55.1-1819 authorizes the board to "establish, adopt, and enforce rules and regulations with respect to use of the common areas" and other matters assigned by the declaration. To enforce covenants — including architectural-control provisions that flow from the recorded declaration — the association must give written notice and a chance to correct, then an "opportunity to be heard and to be represented by counsel," with at least 14 days' hearing notice. For violations it may assess charges (capped at $50 per single offense and $10 per day, max 90 days) and may "suspend a member's right to use facilities or services" for assessments over 60 days past due. The board may also seek "injunctive relief or actual damages," with court costs and reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party.
Charges up to $50 per single offense and $10 per day (capped at 90 days / $900) and suspension of privileges or services after notice and a hearing. The association may also seek injunctive relief or actual damages, with court costs and reasonable attorney fees awarded to the prevailing party.
