What is the hierarchy of the governing documents?
In any situation where there is a disagreement or conflict between documents, the document that is the senior in the hierarchy of documents prevails. Generally the higher up the governing document is in the hierarchy the more difficult it is to change the provisions of the document. Provisions for amendment are generally contained in the document itself. The declaration is viewed as covenants, agreements or contracts between the owners and the Association and subject to the general provisions of law governing covenants. The owner agrees to the terms of the declaration by purchasing a unit in a common interest community.
