HOA boards consist of volunteer homeowners elected by members, typically 3-7 members. Boards decide budgets, hire contractors, enforce rules, and handle disputes. Board quality significantly impacts HOA performance. Well-managed boards keep communities well-maintained; poor boards create frustration and financial problems.
Pro Tip
Research the board's track record before buying. Talk to current residents about whether the board is responsive and effective.
