Parkside Villas Homeowners Association

What Parkside Villas Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This document is the Bylaws of Parkside Villas Association, Inc., a community in Mauldin, SC. It governs the internal operations of the homeowners association, including meetings, board elections, and officer duties. This is not the full rulebook for residents; the restrictive covenants contain the actual use restrictions and assessment amounts.

• Board of Directors & elections: The board has 3 directors elected by members after the developer control period ends. Directors serve 1-year terms. During the developer control period, the developer appoints and removes directors.
• Member meetings & voting: Annual meetings are held in Greenville County, SC. Special meetings can be called by the president, board, or members holding 51% of votes. Proxies are allowed. Voting is by written ballot; cumulative or fractional voting is not permitted.
• Assessments & fines: Each member must pay assessments; unpaid assessments accrue interest and can lead to a lien or lawsuit. Fines for rule violations are capped at $50 per day per violation and require notice and a hearing.
• Board powers: The board can adopt rules for common elements, suspend voting and amenity rights for nonpayment (up to 60 days for rule violations), hire a manager, and maintain insurance and records.
• Officers & duties: Officers (president, vice president, secretary, treasurer) are elected annually by the board. The president presides over meetings; the treasurer handles finances and arranges an annual audit.
• Amendments: Bylaws can be amended by 51% of votes present at a member meeting, but the developer must consent as long as it owns any lot. If there is a conflict, the restrictive covenants control over these bylaws and the articles of incorporation.
• Records inspection: Members may inspect the association's governing documents, meeting minutes, and financial records during business hours upon reasonable notice. Records are kept for at least 3 years.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is only the association's bylaws—it does not include the actual use restrictions (e.g., parking, pets, leasing rules, architectural standards) or the specific assessment amounts. Those are in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions.
