Community Association Compliance in Idaho

Navigating HOA compliance can be complex. At HMS, we understand the importance of adhering to Idaho state laws and your community's governing documents. This page provides an overview of key compliance aspects to help homeowners and board members understand their responsibilities. 

We are committed to helping your HOA maintain compliance, ensuring a harmonious and well-managed community. 

Idaho state law provides a framework for HOA operations. Key areas of compliance include:

Idaho Homeowners Association Act: This act outlines the rights and responsibilities of HOAs and homeowners.

Idaho Nonprofit Corporation Act: Many HOAs are organized as nonprofit corporations, and this act governs their operations. 

Solar panel installation rights: Idaho state law protects homeowners rights to install solar panels, with some limitations on the HOA's ability to restrict those installations.

Political sign display rights: Idaho state law also protects homeowner rights to display political signs, with some limitations on the HOA's ability to restrict those displays.

Financial responsibilities: Correct budget creation, and financial record keeping. 

Meeting and notice requirements: Ensuring proper notice for meetings, and that those meetings are conducted properly. 

We stay up-to-date on changes in Idaho Code to ensure our managed communities remain in compliance. 

Every HOA operates under a set of governing documents, including: 

Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs): These documents outline the rules and regulations that homeowners must follow. 

Bylaws: These documents govern the internal operations of the HOA, including board member roles and meeting procedures. 

Rules and Regulations: These documents provide specific guidelines for day-to-day community living 

It's essential for homeowners and board members to be familiar with these documents to ensure compliance.
