Kentucky association records requests
Kentucky's condominium act requires financial and other records to be reasonably available to unit owners, with no set number of days. The planned community act lets the association set reasonable standards for owner access and lists records it may withhold. Neither section sets a penalty.

How HOAChime handles Kentucky requests
Kentucky sets no number of days for these requests, so HOAChime lets the company set its own target number of days for each association and still keeps the full history of every request. Records can be marked withheld with the state's reason, and Social Security, card, bank, licence, phone and email numbers can be found and blacked out before release. Copy costs are tracked as quoted, paid or waived.
