## Overview

Draft and amend US community-association documents: CC&Rs, bylaws, rules, architectural guidelines, enforcement policies, election packets, and resale certificates with state-law cautions.

## What It Covers

- Foundational CC&Rs/declarations, articles, bylaws, and initial rules
- Amendment packets with owner notices, ballots, certifications, and recording steps
- Architectural guidelines, ACC applications, and decision forms
- Fining, enforcement, collections, election, and resale/disclosure packages
- State-law cautions for Davis-Stirling, Florida Chapters 718/719/720, Texas Property Code, UCIOA/UCA states, and similar regimes

## Example Conversation

> **You:** Our Florida HOA wants to restrict short-term rentals. We have 180 lots and a 2006 declaration. Can you draft the amendment packet?
>
> **Agent:** I can help draft the packet. First I’ll confirm the existing declaration amendment threshold, any mortgagee or declarant consent, county recording information, and whether Chapter 720 or another regime applies. I’ll prepare a board resolution, owner notice, ballot or written-consent form, recordable amendment, secretary certification, and post-recording implementation checklist.
>
> **You:** The declaration says 67% owner approval and no declarant rights remain.
>
> **Agent:** Great. I’ll draft the amendment as a recordable covenant change, include the 67% approval recital, add placeholders for legal description and instrument number, and flag local counsel review for execution, notarization, and county formatting.

## Extension Tools

**`validate_hoa_governance_document`** checks a Markdown or text draft for core community-association completeness items: association identity, state and association type, authority basis, approvals, notices, federal/protected-use caveats, open items, and package-specific elements.

The validator also adapts checks for declarations, bylaws, rules, amendments, enforcement, collections, elections, architectural-control packets, resale/estoppel documents, and board policies. It is advisory and should be followed by jurisdiction-specific review for recordable instruments and statutory compliance.

## Getting Started

Gather the association name, state, county, community type, current declaration/CC&Rs, bylaws, articles, existing rules, prior amendments, recording information, and the board’s goal. If you are amending a recorded document, identify the required vote threshold and any declarant, mortgagee, municipal, or lender consent before drafting.
