Livermore HOAs must offer Internal Dispute Resolution (Civ Code §5900-5920) and Alternative Dispute Resolution before filing suit to enforce CC&Rs (§5930).
Civil Code §5900-5920 requires every California HOA to provide a fair, reasonable, and expeditious Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) process available to members on request. Before filing suit for declaratory or injunctive relief to enforce the governing documents, the association and/or member must offer Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) per Civ Code §5930 — typically mediation. IDR meetings are informal and non-binding unless resolution is reached and memorialized in writing.
