Who has the authority to amend the declaration of the community association?

Amending the declaration of a community association is typically within the purview of the Executive Board. This authority is usually established in the governing documents of the community, which outline the roles and responsibilities of the board members. The Executive Board consists of elected representatives tasked with managing the affairs of the association, making important decisions on behalf of the community, and ensuring compliance with the established rules and regulations.

The process for amending the declaration often requires a vote or approval from the Executive Board, and in some cases, may also necessitate input or consent from the community members, depending on the specific provisions laid out in the declaration and governing documents. This ensures that the declaration reflects the current needs and desires of the community while allowing for necessary changes to be made in a structured manner.

While other entities, like the association’s attorney or a court, may play roles in the process or provide legal counsel, the authority to initiate amendments generally rests with the Executive Board. Similarly, the community manager may assist in the process or implement the changes but does not possess the authority to amend the declaration themselves.
