Chesapeake HOAs follow the Virginia Property Owners Association Act, VA Code §55.1-1800 et seq. Boards must hold annual meetings, give proper notice, keep minutes, and allow owner comment periods.
The Virginia POA Act sets default board procedures for community associations governing detached homes and mixed developments. Boards must provide at least 14 days notice of annual meetings. A quorum for owner meetings is typically 10 percent unless bylaws specify otherwise. Board meetings are generally open to members with limited executive session topics (personnel, legal, contracts). Minutes must be kept and made available. Owners have the right to an owner comment period at each board meeting under VA Code §55.1-1816. Email voting and electronic meetings are authorized under VA Code §55.1-1832.
