What type of amendment does NOT require a vote of owners and lienholders?

The correct answer is an amendment that does not affect the interest of the association members. This type of amendment is generally considered administrative or procedural in nature, rather than one that alters the substantive rights or interests of the members or lienholders. Since it does not have an impact on their rights, a vote is not necessary to implement it.

In the context of community associations, amendments typically require member approval if they affect common interests or financial obligations since these changes could significantly alter the dynamics of ownership or financial responsibility. Amendments affecting common property would directly concern owners and thus require their vote. Similarly, any amendment that increases the association's financial obligations impacts all owners' financial responsibilities, thereby necessitating a vote. Lastly, amendments that alter the rules of operation also usually require a vote because they can change how the association functions or how members interact with one another and the association itself.

Therefore, an amendment that does not influence the interests of the association members is the outlier that does not necessitate a vote, making it the correct choice.
