Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Neighborhood giving out bad bylaws?
At the annual meeting for our neighborhood association our bylaws and regulations were brought up. Through discussion of the bylaws; which have been updated and revised periodically through to about 1997, it was made known by Board Members and office personnel that the bylaw updates were invalid. Invalid because they had not been registered with the County in which we preside. This being known now and having bought our home about 3 years ago, do we have any legal recourse for this? Because we can pull out of a contract within 3 days of reviewing a neighborhoods bylaws but now we know that these bylaws were never even legal to begin with. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are very concerned with this nonchalant regard for the law.

Re: Neighborhood giving out bad bylaws?

So, exactly how were you damaged by all these "bad bylaws"? The fact that they were not

formally registered with the county sounds like a

a mere waivable technicality.
