How do I resolve a compliance letter?

Receiving a compliance letter can be frustrating, but don't worry—resolving it is straightforward with the right steps. Here's a friendly guide to help you navigate the process and get back on track.

Understand the Violation

Carefully read the letter to identify what aspect of your property is considered non-compliant and which rules or regulations are not being followed. The letter will specify what is needed to comply and may include a picture of the exact issue.

Contact Our Compliance Team

Contact our Compliance Resolution Specialists at All-In-One for clarifying questions about the compliance issue and the required corrective actions.

We recommend responding to any compliance letter via email. This is the preferred method of communication because it provides you with a paper trail for your protection. Be sure to send your message to the specific email address listed on the letter you received, and include your community’s name and address in the subject line.

Example Subject Line: Apple HOA,123 Street Lane

Resolve the Issue

Assess The Situation

Determine if you understand and agree with the issue cited in the letter. If you do, take immediate steps to rectify the issue. If you believe the compliance letter is incorrect or the interpretation of the rules is flawed, follow the process outlined in the letter to file a dispute or appeal.

Develop a Plan

If changes are needed to comply, create a timeline for completing the necessary repairs or alterations. Our team will work with you on any timelines needed.

Keep records of all communication with the Compliance specialists, including dates, details of conversations, and any corrective actions taken.

Provide Proof of Resolution

Once the issue is addressed, notify our team and provide documentation (photos, receipts, etc.) to demonstrate that you have corrected the compliance issue.
