North Dakota HOA Board Procedures: Governed by the Nonprofit Corporation Act, Ch. 10-33

An HOA organized as a nonprofit corporation is governed by N.D.C.C. ch. 10-33. Under § 10-33-80, a corporation must keep articles, bylaws, accounting records, and minutes for six years, and "a member or a director ... may inspect all records ... for any proper purpose at any reasonable time"; on request it must also give a financial statement. Section 10-33-65 requires at least an annual meeting of voting members unless the documents provide otherwise; § 10-33-66 allows special meetings on board call or on demand of 10% (or 50) of voting members; § 10-33-68 governs notice; § 10-33-71 gives each voting member one vote; and § 10-33-76 sets a default 10% quorum. Director qualifications and election method are set by the articles or bylaws under § 10-33-29, with terms capped at ten years under § 10-33-30. The Act imposes no open-board-meeting requirement.

No specific statutory penalty. If a corporation refuses a proper-purpose records inspection under N.D.C.C. § 10-33-80 or ignores the meeting and notice rules in §§ 10-33-65 to 10-33-68, a member's recourse is to demand compliance and, if needed, seek a court order; a member who misuses records may face a protective order.
