Do a member have to pay dues if the board is not releasing a treasury report?

[Guest chele spearman]

We have a broad that has spend funds without the the approval from the homeowners per the bylaws. The broad has not giving a financial report all year. My question is do the homeowners still have to pay due for last year and the up coming year? Second question: the broad know they need to file taxes, however has not filed in years. What r our option on as homeowner?

Being an HOA, yes. But check with a lawyer. In most jurisdictions, the HOA (through the Board) will have the right to take legal action, such as a lien. In a "voluntary" organization (one where you are not forced to be a member of the organization which is not the case in an HOA) members can simply leave the organization.

Again check with a lawyer. You might be able to get a compliance order for the Board to file the tax returns.

There ain't nothin' like a dame.

You can try disciplining the board (see Chapter XX) but their bad acts don't let you off the hook when it comes to paying your dues.

Under the rules in RONR, membership dues are not connected in any way with malfeasance on the part of the board.

Regarding the taxes, it sounds as if the members should elect different board members, consider disciplinary action against the current board members, and likely seek legal advice.

We have a broad... The broad ... the broad

Let me guess...there is a female Board member who you don't like very well. Do we have a Freudian slip (x3) here?? Hmmmm.
