加州 · 戴維斯-斯特林法
誰代表協會行事,以及對他們的限制。
董事不得就對自己的紀律處分投票。管理代理人(managing agent)不得留下業主協會(HOA)資金產生的利息。而兩者都不得在協會的選舉中計票。這是同一條規則,寫了三遍。
董事必須迴避的六項表決
《加州民法典》第5350條(a)規定,不論其他任何法律如何規定,《加州公司法典》第7233條和第7234條均適用於每一個協會,無論該協會是否已註冊為法人。接著,(b)款列出了董事或委員會成員不得投票的六項決定,每一項都與其本人有關:
- 對其本人的紀律處分。
- 因其損壞公共區域而對其徵收的會費。
- 其本人就逾期會費提出的還款計劃請求。
- 是否對其本人獨立產權單位上的留置權進行止贖。
- 審查對其本人獨立產權單位擬作的實體變更。
- 向其授予專用公共區域。
這份清單是封閉的,但(c)款規定,它並不限制其他任何法律或管理文件中關於涉及利益關係的決定的規定。所以它是下限,而不是上限——而它背後的原則,正是決定誰可以擔任選舉監察員的那條原則。
為什麼物業經理不能計票
第5110條(b)規定,與協會訂有合約、為其提供其他有償服務的任何人都不具擔任監察員的資格。按定義,管理代理人就屬於這種人——下面這些條文說明了原因。持有協會資金、必須披露自己是否從出售協會文件的公司收取介紹費、其收費標準又由董事會確定的代理人,是利害關係人。取消資格並非出於對個人的懷疑,而是由結構決定的。
準備受聘的代理人必須以書面形式說明什麼
第5375條要求在訂立管理協議之前不超過90天,向董事會提交一份書面聲明:公司由誰擁有,持有哪些執照以及何時到期,擁有哪些認證、由誰頒發,以及該公司擁有所有權權益的任何企業。
(e)款值得讀兩遍:物業經理或其公司是否從依照民法典第4528條和第4530條分發協會文件的第三方收取介紹費或其他金錢利益。這些文件是賣方在過戶時必須購買的。之所以要求披露,是因為挑選供應商的人和從供應商那裡收錢的人可能是同一個人。
協會的資金,在別人手中
第5380條規範管理代理人代表協會收取的資金。該帳戶必須以代理人作為受託人的名義或以協會的名義開立,受聯邦存款保險保障,並且與代理人自己的資金以及其他每一位客戶的資金分開保管。所產生的任何利息都不得歸代理人或其僱員所有,並且混合存放被明令禁止。
(b)款第(6)項規定了從儲備金帳戶或運營帳戶轉出款項的批准門檻——獨立產權單位為50戶或以下的協會,超過5,000美元或預計運營收入的5%(以較低者為準)的,須事先獲得董事會書面批准;51戶或以上的,為10,000美元或5%(以較低者為準)。協會規模有大有小;固定金額不再起作用的地方,由百分比來起作用。(e)款規定勝訴方可獲得律師費和訴訟費用。
而一條只有十七個英文單詞的法條,決定了上述一切適用於誰:第5385條把協會的全職僱員排除在管理代理人的定義之外。協會內部聘用的物業經理不受本節約束——但這並不使其有資格擔任監察員,因為民法典第5110條(b)看的是有償服務,而不是這個定義。
向州政府報告什麼
第5405條要求每一個協會,無論是否已註冊為法人,都向加州州務卿(Secretary of State)申報十一項內容:協會的名稱和地址、管理代理人的姓名、地址和日間電話號碼、所在縣和城市、最近的交叉街道、開發項目的類型,以及獨立產權單位的數量。(f)款只把會長的聯絡方式限於政府用途;其他一切內容都依照《加州公共記錄法》(California Public Records Act)可供公眾查閱。
Those statements are the only official list of California’s associations. The register, by county — 36,801 associations governing 2,469,060 homes as of 2026-10-03 — is built from them.
如果您需要查歷史記錄,(g)款和(h)款值得了解:新的申報會取代之前的申報,而州務卿可以銷燬被取代的申報。加州每一個協會都有一份當前的快照,但背後沒有檔案。
第5400條指示加州消費者事務部(Department of Consumer Affairs)和房地產局(Bureau of Real Estate)為董事開發一門線上教育課程——前提是有現成資金可用。該機構後來已經更名:重新改稱房地產部(Department of Real Estate)。法條中仍然使用舊名稱。
物業經理直接承擔的兩項義務
第5375.5條:物業經理或物業管理公司向董事會提交投標時,必須以書面形式披露任何潛在的利益衝突——而且本條對這一用語作了定義,而不是留給個人判斷。它涵蓋可能從向協會提供產品或服務的公司獲得的任何介紹費或其他金錢利益,以及各款接著列出的所有權權益或利潤權益。這項披露應在投標時作出,而不是在簽約之後。
第5376條在合約有此規定時,把轉售文件的工作交給物業經理:物業經理、物業管理公司或其簽約的第三方代理人,如果依合約負責第4530條要求的披露文件,必須協助送達這些文件——十天期限正是這樣落到實際持有文件的人身上的。

來源不一致。 Text taken verbatim from the Legislative Counsel of California official code database and checked word for word against an independent publisher. The two sources disagree on one word: the official database reads “Sections 7233 and 7234 of the Corporations Code” where california.public.law reads “Section”. The plural is what the Legislative Counsel publishes and is what the citation list requires. The same substitution appears at §§ 4210, 5310, 5350 and 5375 — in every case immediately before a list of two or more section numbers, and nowhere else, which is where the second source's own citation-linking rewrites the word.
