ABOUT THE DESK

A narrow research desk for board governance—not a generic HOA blog.

50state-law research tracks
4core governance paths

The site is organized around concrete board decisions: funding reserves, buying the right insurance, hiring or firing a manager, and approving a special assessment the way the documents actually require.

WHY THIS FORMAT

Turn a board decision into a clean research sequence.

01Find the decision
02Match the documents
03Check state procedure
One task per guide

One task per guide

No broad “everything about HOAs” pages. Each guide starts from a specific board decision.

Documents before conclusions

Documents before conclusions

Start with the reserve study, the policy, the contract, and official state sources.

HOA is not a condo by default

HOA ≠ condo by default

The site keeps planned-community and condo governance rules separate when a state treats them differently.

BY STATE

Every board question eventually comes down to your state statute.

Each state page pins the governing HOA and condo statute by citation, then works through open-meeting notice, quorum, reserve funding, records access, and assessment-increase limits under that state’s law.
