HOAs enforce CC&Rs through notice, hearing, and fine procedures under Davis-Stirling. Members have due-process rights including written notice, a right to a hearing, and appeal. Selective enforcement can void action.
Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) run with the land and bind all owners in the association. Enforcement typically begins with a courtesy notice from management, followed by a formal violation notice under Civil Code 5855 specifying the violation and the member's right to a hearing before the board at least 10 days in advance. After hearing, the board may impose fines per the published fine schedule, suspend common-area privileges (pool, clubhouse), or pursue civil enforcement. Fines must follow a schedule adopted under Civil Code 5850 and distributed to members. Selective or discriminatory enforcement (letting similar violations go for some members while citing others) is a defense in court and can estop the HOA from action. Members can cure and request dismissal. Major remedies — injunction, title liens, or forced removal of improvements — require court action. Federal Fair Housing and California civil rights laws limit enforcement that has disparate impact on protected classes or fails to provide reasonable accommodation.
