Maine condo associations must hold annual meetings and keep records open to owners under 33 M.R.S. §§ 1603-108 and 1603-118. Non-condo HOAs follow the meeting, voting, and records-inspection rules of the Maine Nonprofit Corporation Act, Title 13-B, plus their bylaws.
For condominiums, § 1603-108 requires a meeting "at least once each year," with notice sent 10–60 days in advance, and gives unit owners "the right to attend meetings of the executive board, subject to reasonable rules." The board may use executive session for litigation, personnel, and similar matters, but "[a] final vote or action may not be taken during an executive session." Section 1603-118 requires the association to keep receipts/expenditures, meeting minutes, owner lists, governing documents, and contracts, and to make them available to owners on 10 days' written notice (a reasonable copy fee is allowed). Non-condo HOAs organized as nonprofits derive their meeting, quorum, voting, and records-inspection rights from Title 13-B and their bylaws.
No specific statutory penalty. Owners denied an open board meeting or records inspection may seek a court order to compel compliance under the Condominium Act or Title 13-B.
