I have lived in a neighborhood for 5 years. The constuction was completed last year and the Developer has tried twice to turn the development over to the HOA. As it stands now, there is a president-elect, vp-elect, secretary-elect, and treasurer elect. These people were put on a ballot last December. The president-elect was supposed to get ballots to everyone in the neighborhood so they could vote and these people could be put into their positions. That has not been done nor has the president-elect moved forward with anything else. Our commons areas are overgrown as well as our entrances, the taxes have not been paid on these areas, and there are several houses in the neighborhood that do not abide by our covenants
What state and town do you live in? Is there any documentation or correspondence when you say “the Developer has tried twice to turn the development over to the HOA”
When I was secretary of my HOA, all elections were done via meetings and had to be done in person. No one ever showed up. I became secretary of the home owners association by default. I then had to write bylaws from scratch. Good luck.
