Most Missouri HOAs are nonprofit corporations governed by the Nonprofit Corporation Law (Ch. 355): an annual members' meeting (§ 355.231), special meetings on a 5% member demand (§ 355.236), director removal at a noticed meeting (§ 355.346), and member record inspection on five business days' notice (§ 355.826). Condominium boards follow § 448.3-108 instead.
Chapter 355 supplies the governance rules the declaration omits. Section 355.231 requires a member corporation to 'hold a membership meeting annually.' Under § 355.236 a special meeting must be called when 'at least five percent of the voting power' sign and deliver a written demand stating its purpose. Directors may be removed under § 355.346 'only at a meeting called for the purpose,' with notice stating removal as a purpose. Section 355.821 requires the corporation to keep articles, bylaws, board resolutions, three years of minutes, and an officer/director list; § 355.826 lets a member who 'gives the corporation written notice... at least five business days' beforehand 'inspect and copy' those records and financial statements. Condominium associations instead meet under § 448.3-108 (annual meeting; 'not less than ten nor more than sixty days' notice). Chapter 355 imposes no general open-meeting mandate on board meetings — those rights, if any, come from the declaration or bylaws.
No fixed statutory fine. A member enforces these rights by civil action — to compel a special meeting, a proper removal vote, or record inspection. Refusing a § 355.826 inspection after a proper five-business-day written demand, or removing a director without the § 355.346 noticed meeting, is a statutory violation a court can order corrected.
