Re:  Dispute of Violation Notice dated [date]

Dear Board of Directors:

I am writing to formally dispute the violation notice your association sent to me dated [date]. I respectfully request a hearing before the board (or the appropriate compliance committee) and a written ruling.

Violation as described by the HOA:

  [VIOLATION AS DESCRIBED BY THE HOA]

Basis of my dispute:

  [WHY THE VIOLATION IS WRONG]

I request that you:

  1. Provide the specific provision of the CC&Rs, bylaws, or architectural-control rules that you contend has been violated;
  2. Provide any evidence (photographs, complaints, prior approvals) on which the notice is based;
  3. Schedule a hearing at which I may appear and respond; and
  4. Stay any fines, penalties, or further enforcement until the hearing is concluded.

Please respond in writing within 30 days. your state planned-community / common-interest-development law generally requires associations to provide notice and an opportunity to be heard before imposing fines.

This letter is intended to preserve all of my rights, including any right to appeal or seek judicial review.

Sincerely,



[YOUR FULL NAME]
