CC&Rs/Bylaws Revisions
The Balboa Terrace Homes Association must update its Governing documents. The deadline for an association-wide vote to approve the revised Governing Documents has been extended until after the April 6, 2026 Board of Directors meeting.
Why Must BTHA Adopt Revised Governing Documents?
Our governing documents have remained largely unchanged since their inception in 1920, making them outdated and noncompliant with both state and federal laws.
