South Dakota association records requests
South Dakota has no condominium, HOA or cooperative statute giving owners a right to inspect association records. Associations organized as nonprofit corporations fall under the nonprofit act, which lets a member inspect for any proper purpose at any reasonable time. It sets no number of days and no penalty.

How HOAChime handles South Dakota requests
South Dakota sets no number of days in these statutes, so HOAChime lets the company set its own target number of days for each association and still keeps reminder emails, a due-soon and overdue list across every association, and a full history of each request. You can also mark records withheld with the reason, find and black out Social Security, card, bank, licence, phone and email numbers before release, and track copy charges as quoted, paid or waived.
