Rules

2023 Lakes POA Recorded Rules and Regulations

These 2020 Rules were quietly filed without posting or notice to the community or a vote by the Board of Directors. Traditionally, the Board will adopt a rule by vote, then send a notice to the community members who will have a 30 day comment and review period. After 30 days, the board will review the comments and concerns of members, considering the members’ feedback in the final decision. That didn’t happen here. A “modified” document was created to record a vote by some members of the board.

Fun Fact: Rules are subordinate to the Bylaws, which are subordinate to the Articles of Incorporation, which are subordinate to CCRs, then SC law, then Federal law.

Rules and Regulations allow the community to be more dynamic in its governance and can usually be amended by the board or membership.
