Philadelphia County HOAs and condominium boards follow PA Uniform Planned Community Act (68 Pa.C.S. §5101 et seq.) and PA Uniform Condominium Act (68 Pa.C.S. §3101). Annual meetings, quorum requirements, and open record access are mandated.
Under 68 Pa.C.S. §5308, planned community associations must hold at least one annual meeting of owners. Boards must adopt bylaws covering quorum (typically 20-25 percent of votes), notice (10-60 days before meetings), and voting procedures. Executive sessions are permitted for personnel, litigation, and contracts but action must be ratified in open session. Directors owe fiduciary duty under §5303. Owners may review financial and meeting records upon reasonable notice per §5316.
Board breach of fiduciary duty: personal liability. Denial of record access: injunctive relief plus attorneys fees.
