HOA Bills in the 2021 Legislature
Your Texas lawmakers are considering a wide range of bipartisan HOA reform bills at the state Capitol, including Senate Bill 1588 and House Bill 3367.
These bills would make several pro-homeowner changes:
- Limit how much an HOA and/or HOA management company can charge for a resale certificate fee. There is currently no limit.
- Provide HOA members with an appeal process to resolve disputes with the HOA. There is currently no appeal process required.
- Increase transparency by requiring HOAs to post their managing documents, meeting notices, agendas, and minutes online for members to access. This is not currently required.
- Require HOA management certificates to include a phone number, email address, and website. This is not currently required.
- Create a publicly accessible statewide database of HOA information. No such database currently exists.
