Violation & Fining Process/Legal

Friends, I know there has been a lot written on hoatalk re the how to's on fines and fining processes vary from HOA to HOA. Our bylaws do not refer to R&R violations. I am interested if the State Planned Community Act details exactly what the process should be once a homeowner is found in violation. I cannot seem to find anything in this document on violations. I'm not interested in assessment problems and liens, etc., I want to know the best process and the most 'legal' process to use for instituting a fine. Thanks.

We are in Pa.

Paul, check your Declaration. It should authorized the Association to establish Rules and Regulations. If so, and neither the Declaration nor the By-laws allow the Board to establish R&R they can be approved at a members meeting. Once Rules &Regs are establish and distributed to all members then they can be enforced. I have posted example Rules & Regs for Enforcement of Covenants and Rules and for Delinquent Assessments which should be established before instituting fines.
