COMPLETE THOA C&R as of 23MAR09.pdfIn contrast, the rules and regulations of an association cover the things that are not included in the CC&Rs and bylaws. These rules can also serve as an additional guide — a way to make the covenants and bylaws clearer for all the members. Notably, in the hierarchy of governing documents, an association’s CC&Rs and bylaws take precedence over the rules and regulations.
Rules and regulations are usually easier to amend. They generally don’t require a vote from the membership and only require a majority vote from the board. In comparison, the CC&Rs and bylaws are harder to amend since they normally require majority approval from the members of the association.
