Idaho association records requests
Idaho's Homeowner's Association Act sends members to the nonprofit corporation act for records. There, the member gives at least 15 business days' written notice before inspecting. That is a notice period, not an association response deadline. The 5 and 10 business days in the HOA Act apply to assessment statements and updated financial disclosures, not to general records.
Nonprofit corporation act
Idaho Code 30-30-1101, 30-30-1102
This applies to nonprofit corporations, and to HOAs through a cross-reference in Idaho Code 55-3205(5).
- Who may ask
- A member.
- What starts the clock
- A written notice or demand at least 15 business days before the date the member wants to inspect and copy. For accounting records and similar items, the demand must be in good faith for a proper purpose, with the purpose and records described with reasonable particularity.
- Deadline
- This is a notice period. The member gives at least 15 business days' written notice; the association then makes the records available at a reasonable time and location it specifies.
- What may be withheld
- The board may restrict or deny personnel and employment records and confidential attorney-client communications.
- Record keeping
- Minutes of member meetings and member-approved actions 3 years. Written communications to members and financial statements 7 years.
Homeowner's Association Act (financial statements)
This section covers account statements and financial disclosures. It is not a general records inspection deadline.
- Who may ask
- A member or the member's agent.
- What starts the clock
- A request from the member. The assessment account statement needs a written request.
- Deadline
- No general records deadline is set here. The statement of the member's assessment account is due within 5 business days of a written request, and an updated financial disclosure within 10 business days of a member's request.
- Also
- The reconciled annual financial disclosure goes to all members within 60 calendar days after the fiscal year closes.
- Copies and costs
- No fee for the assessment statement. Charging one is a violation of the Idaho Consumer Protection Act.
How HOAChime handles Idaho requests
Each association's state and type sets the 15 business day notice period automatically, counted with Idaho holidays, and tracks the 5 and 10 business day statement deadlines as second clocks. HOAChime sends reminder emails, shows a due-soon and overdue list across every association, and keeps a full history of the request.
