What type of hearings can homeowners request regarding violations?

Homeowners can request open or closed hearings regarding violations, making it possible for them to choose the format of the hearing based on their preferences or the circumstances of the case. Open hearings allow transparency, enabling homeowners and others in the community to observe the proceedings, which can foster a sense of fairness and accountability within the community association. On the other hand, closed hearings can provide privacy for sensitive issues that may involve personal information or disputes that the parties prefer to keep confidential.

The flexibility of allowing both types of hearings ensures that homeowners can address their concerns in a manner that best suits their needs and the nature of the violation. This approach promotes community participation and reflects a fair process in which homeowners feel they have a voice in the governance of their property associations.
