Will you get hit with a special assessment?

Special assessments can run into thousands per unit when major work outruns reserves. We model that risk for Columbia Association based on reserve health, building age, and Maryland requirements — so you see it coming before the board votes.

Special assessment risk Planned dues increases Reserve shortfall forecast

Values used: scaled defaults where community data is unknown — starting reserve (scaled from unit count at $15k/unit); annual revenue (scaled from unit count at $5k/unit/yr); annual opex (scaled from revenue at 84%).

Condo board meeting notice

Maryland condo board meeting notice rules, in plain language

How Maryland's Condominium Act handles board meeting transparency — open meetings required, executive session votes must be individually recorded in the next meeting's minutes, and notice for board-only meetings is delegated to bylaws.

Maryland condominium reserve funding rules, in plain language

How Maryland's Condominium Act actually handles reserves — through a mandatory reserve study, funding at the study-recommended level with a five-year ramp-up, county-by-county phase-in dates, and a narrow board-level hardship exception — and what that means for a board, owner, or buyer.

Maryland HOA board meeting notice rules, in plain language

How Maryland's Homeowners Association Act handles board meeting transparency — a mandatory open meeting requirement, eight enumerated executive session categories, and a notice standard deliberately set as 'reasonable' with no day count.

Md. Code, Real Property Art. § 11B-111 — Maryland Homeowners Association Act, meetings Reserve funding

Maryland HOA reserve funding rules, in plain language

How Maryland's Homeowners Association Act actually handles reserves — through a mandatory reserve study for HOAs that meet a specific scope test, funding at the study-recommended level with a five-year ramp-up, county phase-in dates, and a narrow hardship exception — and what that means for a board, owner, or buyer.
