The one that was recorded last would be the one in effect.

the last one had a clause to opt in and we didn't opt in so our property was left out of the cc&r

Without knowing details it's very hard to answer.

The most current filed CC&Rs are those that are in effect. If there are CC&Rs that were filed but don't apply to you - they don't apply to you.

Got a e-mail from the HOA saying they can't cash my check for dues because i put the 6th covenants on it for the 150.00 per year, they say i own 250.00 per year under the new 4th covenants. The differents in the order of covenants
is the last 6th covenants which i'm under hoa name(xxxx), the developer took all unsold lots and started a new set of covenants under name (xxxx) which is different name but could opt in under new name we didn't do. The land is in the same sudivision, so now they want us to pay dues on the 4th and not the 6th covenant which is the only one on deed at courthouse.The question was which do we honor 6th or 4th covenants. Hope this help on my question
thanks larry

Let me see if I understand this correctly.
A developer formed an HOA. We'll call this HOA 'ABC' Sold so many properties.
The same developer formed another HOA (with another set of deed restrictions) and sold more properties. We'll call this HOA XYZ.
Per recorded CC&Rs of HOA XYZ it had an option to join ABC HOA, which it chose not to do.
At a later time ABC HOA modified its CC&Rs and increased their dues.

If my understanding of the situation is correct - you have nothing to do with ABC and should go under XYZ. Why 4th is after 6th confuses me, however.

1 (a). These Protective and Restrictive Covenants shall apply to the following lots in (ABC) II and Section III.
Block Numbered Seven (7)
Lots 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40.
Lot in question is Blk 7 Lot 20

26. The owners of properties located in (ABC) Section II and Section III, whose property does not fall under these Protective and Restrictive Covenants will be charged maintenace fees for the services provided by (XYZ). Non payment of fees will result in termination and/or disconnection of services provided as stated in the bylaws.

So now XYZ says that you should pay 250 instead of 150? correct?

The rule 26 is pretty clear. You need to pay what they charge or they'll turn off services, whatever they might be.

Because your CC&Rs say you do. Read section 26 of what you posted.

You can amend your CC&Rs to exclude it, but you'll have to figure out how you'll pay for services provided to your association by the other association.

Maybe it makes sense to vote to join the other one and have a say in what's going on.

Is it possible that you have a master association in addition to your own? This could explain the two sets of deed restrictions.

If you have a Master Association in addition to a community Association, you need to honor both - as both are attached to your deeds.

If you have two sets of deed restrictions from the same Association then, as others have posted, you need to follow the last one filed.

I went back and reread your postings and you might need to seek the advice of a local attorney. I say this because they will have access to all the documents and the ability to ask your Association for any additional info. This is one of those times when it's difficult to say one way or the other without this additional information.

Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Lets say you live in a development that has several sections, single family homes, townhomes, duplexes, etc. and all of these sections share the same road or clubhouse or lake, etc.

There might be one association for the town homes, one for the duplexes and one for the single family homes. Each taking care of their own section of the development.

A Master Association would be responsible for the clubhouse, main road, lake, etc.

A homeowner would belong to both Associations (the Association for their section and the Master). There would be two assessments to pay and possibly two sets of deed restrictions.

Let us know what the lawyer says.
Be sure to bring copies of all the governing documents and any communication you had with the Association along with you.

Update from lawyer this is a big mess having 2 sets of cc&r in 1 subdivision but he said i'm only under XYZ and not ABC so my dues are what my cc&r state and goes into the pot to help pay bills.ABC couldn't enforce there cc&r due to the fact they can't put it on my deed unless i sign to do so. Thanks for the input from everyone. He will let me know more later. HOA in Texas
