Missouri association records requests
Missouri's condominium act says records must be made reasonably available to unit owners and sets no number of days. HOAs organized as nonprofit corporations fall under the nonprofit act, where the member gives at least 5 business days' written notice before inspecting. Neither section sets a penalty of its own.
| Association | Deadline | Law |
|---|---|---|
| Condominiums | A reasonable timeno day count | RSMo 448.3-118 |
| Nonprofit associations | 5 business days' noticethe member gives notice | RSMo 355.826 |

Nonprofit corporation act (HOA fallback)
HOAs organized as nonprofit corporations follow this act.
- Who may ask
- A member, and certain residents who paid over half of the operating expenses.
- What starts the clock
- The member gives written notice or demand. For financial statements and other records, the request must be in good faith for a proper purpose, described with reasonable particularity.
- Deadline
- The member gives written notice at least 5 business days before the intended inspection. The corporation names a reasonable time and place. This is a notice period, not an association response deadline.
- What may be withheld
- Inspection is subject to the proper-purpose limits.
- If the deadline is missed

How HOAChime handles Missouri requests
HOAChime sets the clock automatically from each association's state and type, counts the 5 business day notice period with Missouri holidays, and sends reminder emails. A due-soon and overdue list covers every association. You can mark records withheld with the state's reason, find and black out Social Security, card, bank, licence, phone and email numbers before release, track charges as quoted, paid or waived, and keep a full history of each request. For condominiums with no day count, you set your own target number of days per association.
