Condo Board Meeting Rules

Summary

California Civil Code 7224 outlines procedures for condo board meetings, requiring proper notice, quorum, and majority vote for decisions. Notices should be posted at least 10 days prior, and while email is not mandatory, it can be used for non-local members. If these conditions are met, actions taken during the meeting are generally lawful. Consult a local attorney for specific legal advice.
