Present law provides for the establishment of building restrictions affecting association

Present law provides that in the absence of a provision for the establishment, amendment,
or termination of such building restrictions in community documents, building restrictions
may be: (1) established by agreement of three-fourths of the lot owners; (2) made more
onerous or increased by agreement of two-thirds of the lot owners; and (3) made less
onerous, reduced, or terminated by agreement of more than one-half of the lot owners.
Proposed law retains present law and provides that an assessment or fee for maintenance of
association property may be established, increased, reduced, or terminated by agreement of
more than one-half of the lot owners.
