How do I contact my HOA association?

Submitted by noqad on Fri, 01/22/2010 - 3:11pm.

I live in Maryland and own a property that is under a HOA. The HOA community is made up of thirty townhomes. Over the last few years, the HOA has declined. The previous president and other officers moved away so hardly anyone is operating the HOA. The community looks horrible in that lawns aren't cut, trash is kept in an alley between the townhouses, street lights are fused, and so on. The major problem that I'm facing is that I need another parking pass otherwise my tenant will move out. The HOA has strict parking regulations and each car after 9 must have a parking permit. My previous tenant lost their parking pass and i have no way of contacting the HOA association. We want to keep this tenant and feel that we need to do something about this association. Any suggestions? Who can we contact? What can we do? Is there someone I can contact in the county or local government to help?

I'm assuming your association has a property manager. Contact them to start. You likely pay dues to them and they should have the contact information for your association since they pay the bills, provide financial statements, etc. and they need to be able get permission from the board to take certain actions on issues like tax returns, annual contracts, etc.

Check your Secretary of States website and enter a corporation search for your association. If it comes up, it should list the governing persons of your association; of course if there is the apathy as you've stated, it may have not been kept current and is now in default which means the association would have to refile and pay the licensing fees for reinstatement.

You may have to go door to door in your association until you can speak with someone on the board, or they may at least direct you to them.
