What is a Board Resolution and What are the Different Types?

A board resolution is a motion that follows a set formula and is formerly adopted by the board. Resolutions may enact rules and regulations or formalize other types of board decisions. There are four types of resolutions for a community association:

  • Policy Resolutions affect owners' rights and obligations such as rules for the use of common areas and recreational facilities, architectural guidelines and enforcement procedures.
  • Administrative Resolutions address the internal operations of the community association. Examples include operating procedures, collection procedures and where board meetings will be held.
  • Special Resolutions document board decisions that apply a policy or rule to an individual situation, such as a decision about an alleged rule violation.
  • General Resolutions involve routine events, such as adopting the annual budget and approving a contract. All adopted resolutions should be systematically maintained for the association and future board members.
