As a courtesy to shareholders the board can advise shareholders that a service animal has been engaged by a fellow shareholder so that other shareholders are aware that a service animal is on premise.
The board is not allowed to discuss the application or your reasons/requirements for the animal nor is it an item that is up for vote. Here is an excellent article from Habitat explaining service dogs. Cut and paste into your search bar:
