The Davis-Stirling Compliance Problem: You Don't Know What You're Missing
California law requires HOA boards to manage 12+ mandatory deadlines per year. Each deadline has specific filing requirements, penalties, and consequences if missed.
MISS THE ANNUAL BUDGET REPORT (Civil Code §5300)
- You cannot raise assessments or levy special assessments
- Homeowners can sue for breach of fiduciary duty
- Board members face personal liability
MISS THE CPA REVIEW (Civil Code §5305)
- Gross income > $75,000 requires annual review
- Without it, board members can be personally liable for fraud
- Previous fraud/embezzlement cases traced back to missing audits
MISS ASSESSMENT DISCLOSURE (Civil Code §5570)
- Homeowners don't know if reserves are adequate
- You cannot proceed with special assessments
- Potential lawsuit from homeowners claiming breach
MISS RESERVE STUDY UPDATES (Civil Code §5550)
- You don't know if your reserves are adequate for major repairs
- If a $500K roof failure happens and reserves are underfunded, board is liable
- Personal liability for individual board members
THE REAL PROBLEM:
Most boards don't have a calendar. When board members turn over, the new treasurer has no idea what's required.
Last month's deadline gets missed. Nobody notices until an angry homeowner threatens legal action -- usually 6 months later.
By then, it's too late to file.
