Best Answer

The association is (usually) a non-profit corporation, so board members are volunteer corporate officers.

Their duties are spelled out in your governing documents. In addition, the state law defines the duties of the individual offices of corporations. State law may also define the legal responsibilities of board members.

For example, in Washington state, the duties include the preservation, protection and maintenance of the real estate assets owned in common by the association's owners.

The Community Association Institute publishes a series of best practices reports, which outline options for board members. These offer ideas for governance, community, and finance, all of which are the responsibility of the 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 homeowner association delegate responsibility to a vendor?

Read your governing documents to determine what tasks board members -- specifically -- can delegate to a vendor. One danger for associations is to appear like a vendor-rich association, where over time, vendors essentially take over operation of the community. This happens when volunteer board members are ill-equipped, uninterested, dis-engaged and so forth: not involved in operations -- delegating everything.


In Florida does a hoa board member need to be on the deed?

In Florida, there is no legal requirement for a homeowner association (HOA) board member to be on the deed of a property. However, the association's bylaws may outline specific qualifications or requirements for board membership, such as being an owner or resident in the community. It is essential to consult the HOA's governing documents for specific requirements.


President of the board non board member blocked changed post office box and bank account from acting board voted manager of condo association what can we do?

That depends on who 'we' might be. From your question, it's unclear who's a non-board member, and who's the manager, and who is 'we'.If you are other members of the board, you can enlist the support of your association's attorney to compel the (non-board member) people in possession of the association's assets -- the mail box and the bank account -- to turn them over.If the manager is a property manager with whom the association has a contract, remind the manager that s/he is a vendor, not an owner, not a corporate officer, but a paid partner.If you are an owner, you need to work through your board and proceed as above.If the board is fractured and this is a rift among board members, go read your governing documents and discover your responsibilities -- all of you, to perform your duties with a legal responsibility to the association.Invite your association attorney to your board meeting and require that all board members attend. State the facts, bring the evidence and work with the attorney to free the association from this situation so that assessments can be collected and bills paid.


Can you enforce one thing in a homeowner association and not another?

Selective enforcement by boards can lead to unhappy owners/ residents/ board members. Best practices dictate that all enforcements be equal. You can send a certified letter to the board asking for an explanation for their selective enforcement. This way, you can begin to build a paper trail that can show that the board fails in its duties to preserve, protect and maintain the real estate assets all owners own in common. You can add that being elected or appointed to a position of trust means that actions must be trustworthy.

Can home owners association board exempt themselves from new rule they created?

No. The association board members, presumed to be owners in the association, are governed by the CC&Rs, the By-laws and the rules the same way all owners are governed. Often, sadly, board members choose to ignore these agreements that they make with all other owners, especially when they are elected by members. Read your governing documents to determine how to gather owners to collaborate with each other to document rules violations by board members and keep that documentation in board meeting minutes. Sheding light on these issues, sometimes is curative.


Can someone be on the board of the home-owners association if they do NOT even live in the complex?

It depends on the rules and bylaws of the specific home-owners association. Some associations may allow non-residents to serve on the board, while others may require board members to be residents of the complex. It is best to check the association's governing documents to determine the eligibility criteria for board membership.
