Most Kentucky HOAs are nonprofit corporations governed by KRS Chapter 273, which requires books, minutes, and a member record, and gives members an inspection right under KRS 273.233. Planned communities formed after June 29, 2023 add statutory rules: open board meetings and a 51% quorum (KRS 381.793) and owner record examination (KRS 381.795).
Because Kentucky HOAs are usually nonprofit corporations, governance defaults to KRS Chapter 273. KRS 273.233 requires the corporation to keep books, 'minutes of the proceedings of its members, board of directors and committees,' and a record of members, and provides that 'all books and records ... may be inspected and copied by any member ... for any proper purpose at any reasonable time,' though that right 'may be abolished or limited by the ... articles of incorporation or bylaws.' Planned communities formed after June 29, 2023 also get KRS 381.793: a quorum is 51% of directors, and 'board meetings shall be open to the owners except during executive sessions.' KRS 381.795 adds an owner record-examination right, with exemptions.
No specific statutory penalty. A member denied records may sue to enforce the KRS 273.233 inspection right (subject to any bylaw limits) or, in a post-2023 planned community, the open-meeting and examination rights in KRS 381.793 and 381.795.
