Pheasant Hills Homeowners Association

What Pheasant Hills Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Pheasant Hills is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Northbrook, Illinois. This collection of documents includes the association's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, an insurance covenant amendment, and a board interpretation notice. Together they govern the homeowners association itself, not day-to-day resident rules.

• Who is bound & voting rights: Members are fee owners of lots subject to the covenants. Each lot gets one vote; the developer (Declarant) held three votes per lot until 1985. Voting requires a 60% quorum. Owners must pay assessments and comply with covenants to vote.
• Board of Directors & elections: Board size is 4–6 members (per 2018 Bylaws) or 7–9 (per 2010 Bylaws). Directors serve 3-year terms. Candidates need 1 year of membership and attendance at 2 consecutive board meetings. Election by written ballot; voting by proxy allowed.
• Insurance requirements (owners & association): All owners must carry fire and extended coverage on their dwelling to replacement value. The association carries master insurance on common areas, liability (min. $100k/$300k), and a fidelity bond. All policies must be from a carrier approved by the board with an A+/AAA Best's rating.
• Insurance carrier & failure to insure: The board selects one carrier for all owners annually. If an owner fails to insure, the association may buy the policy and impose a special assessment, collectible like other assessments.
• Assessments & delinquency: The board sets annual assessments by December 1. If an owner is 30 days delinquent, the board may enforce remedies under the covenants. Special assessments may be levied for insurance shortfalls.
• Amendments & conflict resolution: Bylaws can be amended by a majority board vote (2018 version) or 2/3 of homeowners (2010 version). Any amendment must be recorded in Scott County. The Declaration takes priority over Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
• Committees & common area amenities: Standing committees are Architectural and Grounds. The Grounds Committee oversees the swimming pool, landscaping, and common areas.
• What this document doesn't cover: These documents are internal association governance and insurance rules; they do not specify rules for residents such as pet limits, parking, leasing, noise, or other day-to-day conduct—those would be in the Declaration of Covenants or separate rules.
