ADRE Process
I understand this requires an $800 fee , but that it insulates you from having to pay the HOA attorney fees if you loose. Has anyone done this process, would you recommend it?
Thanks

Christopher,
At the current price, I would not recommend this process to anyone. For the last 4 years, ALJ decisions have been overly biased toward the associations, and homeowners rarely get justice or even a reasonable application of the law as written. By these judges. While I was hoping for an administration change to clean out the current crop of ALJs, that will not happen for another 4 years.
We will be introducing legislation to restore a more reasonable price point and have the cost of this service shared between both parties.

Thanks. ,
Who is We? Is there a senator i should email?
Some other things i have discovered during my research is that the administrative law judge has no power to reverse fines, only to rule that the hoa violated the law or its CC&Rs. Leaving homeowners with no resolution even if they win.
Also 33-1803 requires certified mail , whereas most modern hoas have online portals for appeals.
