Incorporated Mississippi HOAs follow the Nonprofit Corporation Act (Miss. Code § 79-11): an annual members' meeting (§ 79-11-197), a 5%-of-voting-power demand for a special meeting (§ 79-11-199), a member right to inspect records on 5 business days' notice (§ 79-11-285), and statutory director elections and terms. There is no open-meeting mandate.
Most Mississippi HOAs are nonprofit corporations governed by Miss. Code § 79-11. Section 79-11-197 requires a corporation with members to hold an annual membership meeting, though failure to hold it does not invalidate corporate acts. Under § 79-11-199, members holding at least 5% of the voting power may demand a special meeting. Members have inspection rights: § 79-11-285 lets a member inspect and copy specified records after at least five business days' written notice, and § 79-11-287 extends that right to the member's agent and limits copying charges to the cost of production; if the corporation refuses, § 79-11-289 lets the chancery court order inspection at the corporation's expense. Directors are elected by members under §§ 79-11-225 to 79-11-239, and a director's term may not exceed five years (one year if unspecified). The Act sets no open-board-meeting requirement.
No specific statutory penalty. If a Mississippi association refuses a proper records demand, § 79-11-289 lets a member petition the chancery court to order inspection and copying at the corporation's expense. Members may also seek court relief to compel a meeting or election.
