Saint Paul, MN HOA Rules: Board Procedures (2026)

Homeowner associations in Saint Paul operate under the Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act (MN Stat. Ch. 515B), which establishes requirements for board governance and procedures. Boards must hold at least one annual meeting of the association and provide written notice to all unit owners at least 10 days before any meeting (or as specified in the bylaws). Board meetings are generally open to unit owners for observation. The board has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the association and must exercise reasonable care in managing association affairs. Meeting minutes must be recorded and made available to owners upon request. Boards must maintain financial records, meeting minutes, and governing documents for owner inspection with reasonable notice. Board members may be removed by a vote of the unit owners as specified in the bylaws. MN Stat. 515B.3-103 outlines board powers and duties including the authority to adopt rules, impose assessments, and manage common elements. Older condominiums formed before 1994 may be governed by the Minnesota Condominium Act (MN Stat. Ch. 515A) with somewhat different procedural requirements.
