Utah Code § 57-8a-226 requires board meetings to be open to owners, with at least 48 hours' email notice to owners who request it, a reasonable owner-comment opportunity, and only limited grounds to close a meeting. Section 57-8a-227 entitles owners to inspect core association records, backed by a $25-per-day penalty for noncompliance.
Under § 57-8a-226, a board meeting "shall be open to each lot owner" or a written-designated representative. The association must email at least 48 hours' notice (time, date, location, electronic-participation details) to each owner who requests it, unless a schedule was provided or an emergency arises. The board must give each owner "a reasonable opportunity to offer comments," but may close a meeting to discuss litigation, legal advice, personnel, contract negotiations, a delinquent assessment or fine, or a matter likely to embarrass an individual. Section 57-8a-227 requires the association to make records available — free via an active website, otherwise in person during business hours — including the declaration and bylaws, recent minutes, current budget and financial statement, reserve analysis, and insurance certificates. If it fails to provide requested records, it owes the owner "$25 ... for each day the request continues unfulfilled, beginning the sixth day" after the request.
Owners may enforce these rights directly. A board that meets without the required 48-hour notice or denies owner comment violates § 57-8a-226. For records, § 57-8a-227 imposes a $25-per-day penalty payable to the owner, starting the sixth day after a request goes unfulfilled, plus available civil remedies.
