Read your governing documents, or refer to the state law under which your association is incorporated to determine your legal requirements.
Meeting minutes are best approved at the next board meeting.
Best practices dictate that transparency and frequent communication are both key elements to successful communities.
The board can decide when to ratify or approve minutes, and decide when to publish them to owners. In the reviewing process, once all board members have reviewed the draft minutes and the minutes are eligible for approval at the next board meeting, the board can circulate 'draft' board minutes, so long as they are clearly labeled as unapproved.
As well, several states are working on legislation to enable boards to approve annual meeting minutes at the next board meeting, and not wait until the next annual meeting to approve them.
What else can I help you with?
Can HOA proposed minutes be changed prior to board meeting?
Yes, HOA proposed minutes can be changed prior to the board meeting. Typically, the minutes are draft versions that can be reviewed and amended by the board members before they are formally approved in the meeting. Any necessary corrections or updates can be made to ensure the accuracy of the recorded proceedings. However, once approved, the minutes become the official record.
Are HOA minutes a public document?
Board meeting minutes are available to owners and prospective owners. They are legal documents, and may be used in courts of law. There is no freedom-of-information-type access to them by the general public, but an interested person could gain access to them through an owner.
How can you remove a HOA?
Yes. Dissolution of the HOA should be address in its bylaws. It would probably have to vote to dissolve itself.
How can I legally dissolve a homeowners association (HOA) in Texas?
To legally dissolve a homeowners association (HOA) in Texas, you typically need to follow the process outlined in the HOA's governing documents, such as the bylaws or articles of incorporation. This may involve obtaining approval from a majority of the HOA members, holding a special meeting, and filing dissolution paperwork with the state. It is recommended to consult with a legal professional familiar with Texas HOA laws to ensure compliance with all necessary steps.
You live in a gated community but your HOA hasn't closed the gate for months The HOA fee hasn't changed What can you do?
I suggest you contact the members of the HOA board. There is no law that the gate must be closed, or that the dues must be lowered if the gate remains open. Check the covenants to see whether there are any provisions about the opening or closing of the gate. You may have to attend the next meeting of the HOA to discuss the issue. Remember that being involved in the HOA makes your community a better place for everyone.
What to do if you're the victim of an HOA approved 6' tall privacy fence?
'Victim' is a strong word. Take your complaint to the HOA board and voice your concerns in an open board meeting. The board may be able to assist you in mitigating your 'victim-hood'.
What if a HOA only enforces the dues regulation?
If you believe that there are violations of regulations that are not being enforced, you can bring these matters to the attention of the association officially. Send the board a certified letter listing the violations and the sections of the governing documents not being enforced. Request an entry on the next board meeting agenda with three minutes to present your position. Then request that the board vote to enforce the regulations or not enforce them. The board meeting minutes can inform the other owners of the situation.
Does a HOA have to have at least 1 meeting a year?
Read your governing documents to determine the legally-required frequency of association meetings. Usually, meetings at least quarterly are required with at least one annual meeting.

A tenant claims that the HOA has plugged into their outside sockets at least one a month for 15 minutes for 5 years. They want 50.00 for the electricity used. Do they have a legitimate claim?
They may have a legitimate claim but that would require an honest response from the personnel who was using the power regularly unless the tenant has some proof. The tenant would need proof to win a lawsuit. However, the HOA should make a good faith offer if the tenant's account is true and the outside power source should be off limits to the HOA from now on.
What is the process for exercising the right to review HOA records?
To exercise the right to review HOA records, you typically need to submit a written request to the HOA board or management company. The request should specify the records you want to review and the reason for your request. The HOA is usually required to provide access to the records within a certain timeframe, as outlined in state laws or the HOA's governing documents.
What should you do if your homeowners' association requires that you paint your house even though painting is not necessary?
First of all, get a certified copy of the recorded covenants. You can get a copy for a nominal fee at your county courthouse. Do not accept a random copy from the homeowners' association (HOA), as such copies are often outdated and/or incorrect. Then, ask the HOA to tell you which specific section of the covenants requires that you paint your house at this time. Once they tell you, read that section and see if it pertains to you. If yes, then paint your house. If no, then write a letter to the board stating that you do not believe that you should have to paint your house. Be sure to cite the wording of the covenants in your letter. I suggest sending it certified mail, or hand delivering it to the HOA board secretary. You might also attend the HOA's board meeting and state your case. In either event, be polite to the HOA and its officers but stand firm on your position. If, after the above process, the HOA still demands that you paint your house, you may need to seek the counsel of a real estate attorney. If possible, do not hire an attorney unless and until a lien has been filed against your house by the HOA, or the HOA has initiatied a lawsuit against you.
