Wisconsin condominiums run through an association of unit owners under Wis. Stat. § 703.15, which sets meeting-notice, proxy, and voting rules. Non-condo HOAs are governed as nonstock corporations under Wis. Stat. ch. 181, including member record-inspection rights under § 181.1601 and § 181.1602 and statutory meeting and election rules.
For condominiums, Wis. Stat. § 703.15 makes the association a legal entity and requires that "no regular or special meeting of the association may be held except on at least 10 days' written notice ... to every unit owner." A proxy "is effective only for a maximum period of 180 days following its issuance" unless granted to a mortgagee or lessee, and decisions "shall be made on a majority of votes of the unit owners present and voting" unless the bylaws require more. Non-condominium HOAs are nonstock corporations governed by ch. 181: § 181.1601 requires the corporation to keep minutes and a membership record, and § 181.1602 lets a member inspect and copy records on at least 5 business days' written notice, in good faith and for a proper purpose.
No specific statutory penalty. A condo owner denied required meeting notice (§ 703.15) may seek to compel compliance in court; an HOA member denied record inspection may enforce § 181.1602 in circuit court. Non-condo governance disputes are otherwise resolved under ch. 181 and the declaration.
