South Carolina's Homeowners Association Act adds transparency duties: § 27-30-140 requires at least 48 hours' notice before a meeting raising the annual budget, and § 27-30-150 gives homeowners access to inspect and copy the annual budget and membership lists. Meeting, election, and record rules otherwise follow nonprofit-corporation law.
The 2018 South Carolina Homeowners Association Act layers transparency requirements onto nonprofit governance. Section 27-30-140 requires an association to provide "notice to homeowners at least forty-eight hours in advance of the meeting in which a decision to raise the annual budget is made," by posting, website, email, or a bylaws-specified method. Section 27-30-150 applies the Nonprofit Corporation Act's access provisions (S.C. Code §§ 33-31-1602 to 33-31-1605) to all HOAs, letting homeowners inspect and copy the annual budget and membership lists. Section 27-30-130 also requires governing documents to be recorded and accessible to members. Beyond these, board meetings, elections, quorum, and recordkeeping follow the South Carolina Nonprofit Corporation Act and the bylaws; § 27-30-170 construes the Act consistently with that nonprofit law.
No specific statutory penalty. A budget increase decided without the § 27-30-140 48-hour notice, or a denial of access under § 27-30-150, may be challenged by a homeowner; document-access enforcement follows the Nonprofit Corporation Act's inspection remedies.
