Unassign or archive a property without losing history
Maintain the active registry while preserving existing ballots and frozen poll entitlements.
Step by step
Open People & properties and find the property under Properties & voting rights. Check its label, county, current representative and voting weight.
If the property remains active but its current representative must be removed, choose Unassign owner. Enter a reason of 5–2,000 characters and confirm.
Use Assign owner later to select the appropriate active membership. Verify ownership separately; an assignment does not verify the person.
If the property should leave the active registry, choose Archive property, give the reason and confirm. The record keeps its current owner link and history but cannot cast new ballots or receive entitlements for newly approved polls.
To bring it back, select Archived, choose Restore property and record why. Return to Active and review the owner assignment, verification and voting weight.
Before approving a new informal poll, check the complete active registry. If you need to understand an earlier change, review Activity & audit log in Association settings.
Before you continue
- Unassigning, reassigning or archiving does not erase or transfer a submitted ballot. A new representative does not inherit a previous member’s frozen entitlement. Restoring does not create missing entitlements for an already approved poll.
- Board members can inspect archived properties; ordinary members cannot. There is no hard-delete action for property history.
- An archived property still belongs to its recorded county. That county cannot be removed from the association while the property remains registered there. Keep location records accurate; archive is not a way to relocate a property.
