SPEV was incorporated in Maryland in April 1986 without capital stock and does not operate for profit.

Below are links to current versions of the laws.

The Maryland Homeowners Association Act (MHAA), Real Property Article, Title §11B, provisions apply to all homeowners associations (like SPEV) in Maryland that existed as of July 1987. If there are conflicts between the governing documents of the association and MHAA - MHAA provisions always superceed the governing documents. Governing documents (Declarations of Covenents, Conditions, and Restrictions and Bylaws) of the association do not need to be modified to incorporate provisions of MHAA because these rights are already provided by the law.
