§ 5865 Board Penalty Authority Limits

Civil Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•This law does not change the rules about fines for breaking community rules.
•The board can still give fines like before, no more, no less.
•It just makes sure other laws (Sections 5850 and 5855) don’t mess with the board’s fine powers.

Example

If your neighborhood has a rule that says you can’t park your car on the lawn, and you do it anyway.

The board can still fine you the same amount they could before this law. This law doesn’t let them fine you more or less—it keeps things the same.
