Yes, a homeowners association (HOA) board member can be removed. The specific process and causes for removal can vary depending on the HOA's bylaws and state laws, but some common reasons for removal include violation of fiduciary duties, misconduct or unethical behavior, financial mismanagement, failure to fulfill board responsibilities, or a breach of the HOA's governing documents. It's important to consult the HOA's bylaws or seek legal advice for the specific requirements and procedures for board member removal in a particular HOA.

Is the immediate Past President of a Homeowners Association automatically a member of the subsequent Board of Trustees?
Your governing documents contain the answer you seek. There is no standard.
In a Homeowners Association can non-owners be on the board of directors?
It depends on the specific rules and regulations of the Homeowners Association. In some cases, non-owners may be eligible to serve on the board of directors if they meet certain criteria, such as being a family member or representing a business that owns property within the association. However, in most cases, the board of directors is composed of homeowners within the association.
Should a board member of a homeowners association be the property manager also?
It is generally not recommended for a board member of a homeowners association to also serve as the property manager. This can create conflicts of interest and make it difficult to maintain impartiality in decision-making. It is best to have separate individuals or entities fulfilling these roles to ensure transparency and fairness in managing the association.
Where do we start in trying to resurrect our homeowners association when the board members are all dead?
Your governing documents detail the process you can follow to elect a new board.
Who is considered a home owner?
In our little corner of the world we define/clarify a homeowner as the owner of record on the deed. So, yes, in our neck of the woods, you would have to actually be listed on the deed to be considered the "homeowner" that is eligible to be on the board, if our governing documents restricted directors to association members. If you are not listed on the deed, you are not a member of our association, even though you may be married to the person listed on the title/deed. If you're name isn't on there with him/her, then you are not a qualified owner/member of the association. However, our directors are not required to be association homeowners/members, so a spouse of a member could run for our board of directors.
Can a board member of a hoa be dismissed?
Yes. Read your governing documents to understand this process. Generally, the board member can be relieved on his/her duties while still remaining a director, or a board member can be removed from the board.
Can the board president dismiss a member?
It depends on whether the member is a member of the board, or a member of the association. If, for example, the developer is the board president and has appointed a member of the board who serves at the pleasure of the developer, the developer may indeed be able to dismiss such a member. Your governing documents detail whether or not this is possible and the process by which it is completed. If a board member has been elected by the members/ owners, then no: the President board member may not dismiss another board member. Board members can only be recalled by a vote of owners. On the other hand, if owners are members and not members of the board, then, no: all owners are members of the association until their property is sold to another buyer. They cannot be dismissed by anyone. Your governing documents are clear, and if they are silent, your state law governing associations is clear about the rights of boards and their responsibilities and authorities, depending on the status of the association. As well, if the association is a corporation, state law governing that type of corporation may apply.
What can you do when a homeowners association does not enfore their rules?
Best practices dictate that you notify the board in writing of the rules being violated, and include your evidence -- an affidavit or a photo -- and request that the board enforce the rules.
What type of policy is required for a detached unit in a cluster development with a homeowners association?

Can HOA board member be paid to manage their property?
