Norfolk HOAs and condo associations operate under the Virginia Property Owners Association Act (VA 55.1-1800 et seq.) and Condominium Act. Boards must follow notice, quorum, and meeting rules set by statute and governing documents.
The Virginia Property Owners Association Act (VA Code 55.1-1800 et seq.) governs non-condominium HOAs in Norfolk. Board meetings require advance notice to members, open member attendance except for executive sessions addressing personnel, legal, or contract matters, and adequate meeting minutes. Annual meetings are mandatory with quorum and proxy rules defined in the declaration and bylaws. Directors have fiduciary duties to the association, must act in good faith, and should avoid conflicts of interest. Virginia Common Interest Community Board (CICB) handles complaints and regulatory oversight. The POA Act requires annual registration with CIC Board and payment of the annual fee. Condos follow the parallel VA Condominium Act (VA 55.1-1900 et seq.).
Board procedural violations: CICB complaints, potential member lawsuits, board member personal liability for knowing violations.
