New Jersey HOA laws
What New Jersey asks of your association
New Jersey community associations are governed by PREDFDA. The 2017 Radburn amendments added governance rules for open board meetings, member access to records, and fair elections.
Meetings
Open board meetings
N.J.S.A. §45:22A-45.1Give members at least 48 hours' notice of board meetings, with the date, time, location, and agenda.
Records
Access to records
N.J.S.A. §45:22A-45.1Provide members access to association records, including financials and minutes, within 10 business days of a written request.
Elections
Fair, verifiable elections
N.J.S.A. §45:22A-45.1Conduct elections with verified eligibility and a public, inspectable ballot count under the Radburn reforms.

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.
