Guides for self-managed boards
These notes are for a volunteer board using this free site. They describe the tools. They are not legal advice, and they do not restate the statute.
For Texas association law, read Texas HOA Board's law guide. For sample notice, agenda, minutes, and request forms, use their board templates. The outlines on this site are blanks for a community's own files. They are not those forms.
- Post a community notice. How a board posts a notice that invited residents can read. It is an on-site announcement, not the formal meeting notice your documents may require.
- Keep community files together. How a board keeps files and starter outlines in one private library. The outlines are not legal documents.
- List a meeting and keep the notes. How a board adds a meeting, saves an agenda outline, and files a minutes sheet. This list is not a voting system.
- Send the board a request note. How a resident sends an architectural or violation note. The form saves it and emails the board. It does not approve a case.
- Invite a resident to the community. How a board invites one email address, or approves a request to join. The link works once and expires in 30 days.
- Use the opt-in resident directory. How residents choose to appear in the community directory. Email and phone show only when that person opts in.
