Four types of legal “governing documents” are typically associated with subdivisions such as iniums and planned developments: the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (or “CC&Rs”), the Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation, and the Rules.
The Declarations define the use and occupancy rules of the units and common areas. Condo bylaws outline the remedies for breach of these rules.
Bylaws set forth how the condo association will operate including how and when meetings are held, how directors and officers are elected, the powers of the board of directors, insurance requirements, and maintenance responsibilities.
Ohio inium law requires associations to adopt and amend budgets for revenues, expenditures, and reserves in an amount sufficient to repair and replace major capital items without the need for special assessments.
Generally speaking, the declaration is the document that creates the inium. The bylaws spell out the day-to-day operations of the association. If your association is more than 10 years old and the bylaws have remained unchanged, board members may want to consider making updates.
Ultimately, one of the main purposes of a condo association is to ensure your safety and convenience, as well as that of the other unit owners and residents in your complex or building. Another objective is maintaining property values so the community continues to be a good investment.
