Do homeowners Associations have to have an annual meeting?

Answer 1

You can ask your owner/landlord to invite you.

Understand, however, that you will not be granted the right to vote, you may not be granted the right to speak during the open forum period, and there may be other limitations attached by the board to your invitation.

Savvy boards understand that association communities are best served when all residents are involved. Association annual meetings can be informative and celebratory for everyone involved in the community.

But only owners -- perhaps only those in good standing -- will sign in and be allowed to vote.

Answer 2

Yes, generally, this is the one meeting required in the by-laws each year. You can confirm this in your governing documents.
