Full Breakdown
Turlock's condominium-conversion ordinance (Chapter 8-10) requires every conversion's Declarations of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions to include a statement that both the individual unit owner and the homeowners' association must comply with all building, fire, and safety codes enforced by the City Building and Fire Departments. The Community Development Director reviews and approves the CC&Rs before the Planned Development is approved. In practice a private HOA can add its own aesthetic or use rules, but it cannot excuse an owner or the association from a city code requirement: the City keeps independent enforcement authority regardless of what the CC&Rs say.
Violations & Fines
Chapter 8-10 violations are a misdemeanor punishable under TMC 1-2-01; CC&Rs missing the required compliance statement can also block Planned Development approval for the conversion itself.
