Board's members info needed,

You might not find a lot of legalese on the subject because even now state legislatures still behind when it comes to social media, cell phones, email addresses, etc., and as you know there's a lot of concern about privacy and misuse. It does make sense for the board to have some sort of contact information - in our community, we don't provide home phone numbers, but have a universal email devoted only to association business and the email would be sent to all board members. You can still contact the property manager to forward information to the board. Our website has the property manager's phone number, email, and fax number.

Beyond that, I don't think you have an inherent right to someone's email and/or phone numbers. It's one thing to have someone's address - if you can't get that list from the association, all you have to do is walk around your neighborhood, look at the numbers on the houses or mailboxes and write them down. Even if a homeowner's list has phone numbers and email addresses, I believe people should be able to opt out of that portion of their contact information (in some states, they have a right to make that request).

As for renters, they aren't association members, so they aren't entitled to anything. Besides, if they have questions or concerns, they should be talking to the owner/landlord, who would then contact the association, if necessary.

In your case, why not start by simply asking the board or your property manager for a homeowner's list, which would include board members? If you already did that and were denied, what did they tell you? Did you tell them why you need the information - people always say it'll be reserved for HOA business, but in some cases, they bombard homeowners with information that doesn't have anything to do with that.

I am with Sheila. Renter are not HOA members. They don't need the information. If you have a MC, it's best to contact them. May ask if this information is available or must go through them? Remember one's phone number or email address is NOT business related. It's personal. A business one would be designated that. The HOA should be holding meetings. Are you attending?

It's time to put on your walking shoes and write down addresses. Remember you can NOT put anything in a mailbox without a stamp on it. It may be considered solicitation if putting up flyers or attaching to homes. So be careful of that. Each area varies on the rules for that.

What business do you have that is so pressing?

If you have ever bought any property your signature is on the deed and mortgage paperwork and is public record of your state. NOT deletable..... ever. I can look up deed signatures back the 1600's in my town.

I guess what I'm saying is..... whats the point of spending all that time deleting them? Also..... another board of directors later on can simply re-add all those documents.

As a corporation, an HOA needs to keep its registration current with the state's Department of State. This includes updating the Registered Agent - a mailing to a Registered Agent is legally adequate for purposes of notifying the corporation. Most MCs will file the forms to make them the Registered Agent when taking on a new HOA. Others don't - Which could be a problem if material sent is time-sensitive but goes to a prior MC.
