WHAT'S A
VIOLATIONS POLICY?
A violations policy explains the process a
community follows when a violation occurs.
Drafted by an enforcement committee or
the board, the policy should be shared with
all residents. A violations policy includes
the steps a community takes to enforce
the governing documents and possible
consequences for continued violations.
In a violations policy, you may find:
• Frequency of inspections
• How to report violations
• Details about the first violation notice
• Information on second and third warnings
• Non-compliance hearings details
• Consequences and fines
• Foreclosure actions
