Maine HOA laws
What Maine asks of your association
Maine has no single HOA statute. HOAs run under their recorded declaration and bylaws, and incorporated associations follow the Maine Nonprofit Corporation Act (Title 13-B).
Maine has no comprehensive HOA-specific statute. Associations here are governed mainly by their recorded declaration and bylaws, plus the state's general nonprofit corporation law. The points below come from that corporate law, not an HOA-specific act.

Records

13-B M.R.S. §715Keep complete books, records, and minutes; voting members may inspect them for a proper purpose on 5 business days' notice.

This is general information to help boards get oriented, not legal advice. HOA statutes change and courts interpret them differently case to case. Confirm specifics with your association's attorney before acting.
