The Alabama HOA Act requires associations to give members and prospective buyers key records within 30 days of a written request (Ala. Code § 35-20-13) and to send notice of the first board-election meeting within 120 days of the members' right to elect (§ 35-20-9). Meetings follow nonprofit-corporation law; there is no statutory open-meeting mandate.
Ala. Code § 35-20-13 requires an association to provide specified records - including current assessments, budgets and financial statements, insurance, governing documents, transfer fees, and pending litigation - to a member or potential purchaser "upon written request, within a reasonable time not to exceed 30 days," for reasonable associated costs, in paper or electronic form. For elections, § 35-20-9 requires written notice of a special meeting to elect directors "within 120 days" of the date members gain the right to elect, following § 10A-3-2.03; owners holding at least 10 percent of the membership may nominate candidates. Because § 35-20-4 ties the Act to Title 10A nonprofit-corporation law, Alabama has no separate statutory open-meeting mandate for HOA boards.
No specific statutory penalty. If an association misses the 30-day records window under § 35-20-13 or fails to give timely election notice under § 35-20-9, a member's recourse is to demand compliance and, if needed, seek a court order.
