Frequently Asked Questions
What should be included in HOA meeting minutes?
Meeting minutes should document: date, time, and location; attendees and quorum confirmation; motions made with vote tallies; action items assigned; and adjournment time. Minutes should be factual summaries of decisions made, not verbatim transcripts of discussions.
Who is responsible for taking HOA meeting minutes?
The Board Secretary is typically responsible for recording minutes. In their absence, the board may appoint a temporary recording secretary. Some associations hire a professional minutes-taker or use management company staff.
How long should HOA meeting minutes be retained?
Retention requirements vary by state. California and North Carolina require permanent retention. Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Virginia require at least 7 years. Nevada requires 10 years. Always check your state law and governing documents for specific requirements.
What should NOT be included in meeting minutes?
Avoid verbatim quotes, personal opinions, individual homeowner names in violation discussions, executive session details, and emotional descriptions. Instead, use neutral, factual language that summarizes decisions and actions taken.
Do HOA meeting minutes need to record individual votes?
Most states only require recording the vote count (in favor, opposed, abstained). However, Florida specifically requires recording each board member's individual vote on all motions. Check your state's requirements.
When should meeting minutes be distributed to members?
Distribution timelines vary by state. California and Illinois require minutes to be available within 30 days. Many states don't specify a timeline but require minutes to be available for member inspection upon request.
