Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS; REQUIRING THAT NO LESS THAN SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE BOARD OF A HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION BE ELECTED BY LOT OWNERS AFTER SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF LOTS ARE NO LONGER OWNED BY THE DECLARANT; REMOVING EXCEPTIONS FOR MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing Homeowner Association Act in New Mexico. It requires that after 75% of the lots are no longer owned by the declarant, at least 75% of the homeowner association board members must be elected by the lot owners, removing the previous exceptions for master-planned communities. The bill also specifies the timeline for lot owners to have representation on the board, starting with at least 25% of the board members being elected by lot owners after 25% of the lots are conveyed to non-declarant owners, and increasing to at least 33% after 50% of the lots are conveyed. The bill aims to give lot owners more control over the homeowner association's governance as the development matures.
