Directors serving on boards of neighborhood associations in Nebraska are often surprised at the number and variety of legal issues they face as a volunteer board member of a homeowners association, such as:
- Covenants must be enforced against homeowners fairly.
- Town home and condominium owners associations must collect dues and assessments from property owners to ensure sufficient cash flow to meet the association’s obligations.
- Vendors must be lined up to care for lawns, landscaping, snow removal, trash removal, and exterior maintenance.
- Association books must be maintained and audited.
- Regulatory reporting laws governing nonprofits must be adhered to.
- Corporate formalities must be followed.
