Bill > HB2653

This bill, known as the "Subdivision Property Owners' Protection Act," specifies that a homeowners' association can only impose new property use restrictions at the time the property is purchased or with the owner's written consent. The bill defines key terms, such as "homeowners' association," "member," and "types of use," and prohibits homeowners' associations from enforcing more onerous property use restrictions than those that existed when the current owner acquired the property, unless the owner agrees in writing. The bill provides exceptions for certain situations, such as when a property is inherited, and also exempts restrictions required to comply with applicable laws and regulations. The bill aims to protect property owners from having their property rights further restricted by homeowners' associations after they have already purchased their homes.
