ABOUT

A board research desk built around documents and procedure.

HOA Board Desk covers a deliberately narrow problem: what a volunteer board member, treasurer, or president needs to check before approving a reserve budget, buying insurance, signing a management contract, or levying a special assessment.

Editorial scope

We focus on process, fiduciary duty, records, and official research paths for the people running the association. We do not provide individualized legal advice, insurance brokering, property management services, or vendor referrals.

How state-law material is handled

Planned-community HOAs and condo associations can be governed by different statutes in the same state, with different reserve, insurance, meeting, and disclosure requirements. State guides are therefore researched separately and must identify the governing act before summarizing a board's specific obligations.

Editor

Theo Kessler is the HOA Governance Editor. The editorial standard is to prefer primary state statutes, official agencies, and nonprofit-corporation case law over secondary summaries.

What this site is not

The desk is not a substitute for an attorney, CPA, or licensed insurance professional reviewing the association's specific documents. When a decision involves real legal or financial exposure, the practical next step is usually professional advice, not a general guide.
