I’ll venture to offer some insights…
If the CC&Rs explicitly state the specific number of homes/lots within the association, it would likely need a vote from the entire membership. This is because a single owner’s attempt to unilaterally alter the contractual terms would require approval from the broader community. If granted, an amendment to the CC&Rs would be essential, which would need a vote.
As for dues, I think it’s a good idea not to reduce the amount just because it’s one household/lot now. The expenses remain fixed for the HOA. Combining the lots and then only charging the assessment for one essentially makes the HOA lose out on one homeowner payment, meaning everyone else will have to shoulder the potential increase as a result. The expenses for the HOA doesn’t change just because one owner wants to combine lots and pay only one set of dues.
