In speaking with many residents and board members of communities, there is compelling confusion of the application of the State law and governing documents. That confusion leads to many decisions that are not in the best interest of the community.
From my experience as a Board Member, President and a number of litigations. The order of application or precedence is the following:
1. Title 14. CORPORATIONS, PARTNERSHIPS, AND ASSOCIATIONS
