Frequently Asked Questions
How many days of notice does a regular HOA board meeting need in California?
At least 4 days. Civil Code §4920 requires that notice of a regular board meeting, with the agenda, reach members at least 4 days before the meeting. The 2-day notice option applies only to a board meeting held solely in executive session — a special open meeting still needs the full 4 days.
When must HOA board meeting minutes be available to members?
Within 30 days of the meeting. Civil Code §4950 requires the minutes (or a draft summary) of an open board meeting to be made available to members within 30 days.
How far in advance must HOA election ballots be distributed?
At least 30 days before the deadline to return them, and the pre-ballot general notice (with the candidate list and election rules) must go out at least 30 days before ballots are distributed — both under Civil Code §5115.
How long does an HOA have to produce financial records a member requested?
Current-year financial records must be produced within 10 business days of the written request (Civil Code §5210). Note our calculator counts Monday–Friday only and does not model California state holidays — confirm the exact date against the statute.
Is this calculator legal advice?
No. It is an educational scheduling aid that surfaces the statutory Davis-Stirling period for each obligation, with its Civil Code citation. Confirm any deadline you rely on with the statute or an attorney.
