NC HOA Special Meeting Question

Hi all,

I've been participating on these forums for years, reading and commenting where I thought I could help. I lost my old email and username though, as I have moved a good amount all of the word, and had a HD failure that could not be recovered and I can't recall what email I was using. In any event, I want to first thank you all for our help and support of HOA members and BOD's all over. Huge and great place.

Ok, so I am not as familiar with HOA law in NC as I am in other states, but I've read through the two governing state statutes at this point, and know the details, as well as our CCR's.

My question is this - I see all kinds of references to Special Meetings, specifically how they work, the voting rules, the quorum rules, all the standard stuff. What I do not see in NC though, well in 55A I do but that's part of the question, is WHEN must a Special Meeting of the Members, which has been requested with valid signatures from lot owners, be held by? Working under the 55A statute, I believe it's within 30 days. If we jump to the 47F statute though, it only speaks to the "WHEN" NOTICE must go out. Thus, I'm trying to identify the timeline of events for WHEN the actual voting members meeting must take place by?

I can and will provide more context, if you all would like to read it, but I thought before I bore everyone to death, I'd just ask the question. Thanks ahead of time for the help!!! Obviously our CC&R's do not online this either

Thank you! That’s is exactly what I thought. We petitioned our BOD, through counsel, with the correct number of signatures, to hold a special meeting. The HOA attorney, who I believe is weak at best, is advising them that they have 60 days to announce, then another 60 days to hold the meeting. We meet with our counsel tomorrow to discuss strategy, but it seemed very clear to me that since 47F doesn’t reference a timeline, and 55A does, that the statute of application here is 55A. Thank you very much for confirming what I was thinking. I’m sure our attorney will say the same, but since I don’t yet know all the in’s and out’s of NC, I wanted to get yet another opinion from one of you all. I found Texas statute to be much cleaner in items, but then again, maybe I’m only remembering those that applied to my/our situation down there.

Thanks again! Have a good night Augustin!!
