Use Email to send violation letters

BradP,
Unfortunately the BOD couldn’t possible expect these violators to comply with an email. I understand you would like to save money, postage, time and even paper. It is a good idea in theory but, not everyone has an email or a computer. If the HO is in violation the violation letter needs to be mailed to them using priority mail.
If all HOs were required to have email addresses and a computer, I could perhaps see how this could work for your community.
If the computers were supplied and all the expenses were covered it then may be more practical.
I would be interest in what other responses you will get on this topic.
Keep us updated if you can.

i would suggest a compromise:

If an owner requested or agreed to email notices, then by all means, document that and use them. That way, if I have an email account, i can get emails, but if Joyce next door doesn't, you don't paint her with the same brush. Personally, i would love sending out stuff via email, not only to save money, but I could increase our communication and services that way.

For really "legal" things (notice of foreclosure, final warning), I would follow the idea of a letter (registered, certified, whatever your bylaws require) even if people said emails were fine. There are ways to avoid/get around letters too, but most people don't know/practice them.
