§ 6514 Document Delivery Methods

Key Takeaways

  • •Important papers must be sent in special ways: mail (like letters or packages) or email/fax if the person agrees.
  • •Mail must go to the last address the group has for you.
  • •If you agree to get emails or faxes, you can change your mind later by writing to them.
  • •Even if old rules say how to send papers, they don’t count unless you agree in writing.

Example

Your homeowners' association needs to send you a new rule about parking.

They can mail it to your house or email it if you said ‘yes’ to emails before. If you don’t like emails anymore, you can write them a letter to say ‘stop sending emails.’

§ 6514 Document Delivery Methods

(a) If a provision of this act requires that an association deliver a document by “individual delivery” or “individual notice,” the document shall be delivered by one of the following methods: (1) First-class mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, express mail, or overnight delivery by an express service carrier. The document shall be addressed to the recipient at the address last shown on the books of the association. (2) Email, facsimile, or other electronic means, if the recipient has consented, in writing, to that method of delivery. The consent may be revoked, in writing, by the recipient. (b) For the purposes of this section, an unrecorded provision of the governing documents providing for a particular method of delivery does not constitute agreement by a member to that method of delivery. (Added by Stats. 2013, Ch. 605, Sec. 21. (SB 752) Effective January 1, 2014.)
