– Shedlock

 

Answer:

Hi Shedlock,

Maryland law currently does not address this. However, it is common practice not to pay board members, including the HOA president, for their service on the HOA board. Once 75% of the homes in the development are sold, the developer must turn over the HOA to the homeowners. At this point, the homeowners can elect their own board. Check your HOA’s governing documents, though, to see if they allow for an earlier transition depending on the requirements.
