What is the HOA required to provide to the community? I have lived in the community since march and have only received minutes from one meeting. I am curious about the financials, where my HOA dues are being used, and projects they are looking into. Was told they only have one meeting a year and thought there would a few more than that. Having a hard time wrapping my head around the HOA in my community and their thought processes so am trying to bring myself up to speed.

It is in your CC&R's, by-laws, and Articles of incorporation. Documents you should have in your possession at closing. If not, CC&R's are available at the county courthouse in records department. The Articles are state filed and may be available online on a state website. The By-laws could be with the CC&R's but most likely the HOA has them.

It is not unusual for a 1 annual only meeting in some HOA's. You have the right to review financials and can make that request to your HOA board. Mind you it's to VIEW and not provide copies. That cost money. So if you want copies they may charge you for such. If you have a management company, they may arrange a time for you to come in to look.

You can't stop paying your dues or portions of it if you don't agree with where the money is going. Dues are always due. You can always run for the board or run out the board as a HOA member. Your choice.

Ditto ... Most State Laws require the HOA to provide financial information. Have you asked???
