Indiana HOA Meeting Notice Calculator — IC 32-25.5-3-4 (Indiana Condominium Act) & IC 32-21-13-3 (Planned Community Act)

Under IC 32-25.5-3-4, the Indiana Condominium Act requires: (1) Annual meetings — notice not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days before the meeting; (2) Special meetings — notice not less than 10 days before; (3) Board meetings — open to all unit owners with 72-hour (3-day) advance notice unless an emergency. The 60-day maximum for annual meetings is notably shorter than Washington WUCIOA's 90-day maximum under RCW 64.90.395 — an Indiana condo association that sends notice 70 days in advance has given notice too early and must send a corrective notice.

IC 32-25.5-3-4 sets a 60-day maximum for Indiana condominium annual meeting notices, compared to WUCIOA's 90-day window and the Washington HOA Act's 90-day window. The policy rationale is that a shorter maximum window reduces the risk that the meeting agenda or circumstances change materially between notice and meeting — keeping the agenda fresh and reducing owner confusion. From a practical perspective, most Indiana condominium boards send annual meeting notices 20-30 days in advance (well within both the 10-day minimum and 60-day maximum) and this distinction rarely causes issues in practice.

Yes. Under IC 32-25.5-3-4, board meetings of an Indiana condominium association are OPEN to all unit owners. The board must provide 72-hour (3-day) advance notice of the meeting to allow owners to attend. This is consistent with the general trend in common-interest community governance toward transparency. Emergency board meetings may be held without advance notice when immediate action is required for health, safety, or property preservation — but the emergency exception should be used sparingly. Indiana does not license community association managers at the state level, so there is no state CAM regulatory body to enforce board-meeting transparency.

Under IC 32-21-13-3, Indiana planned communities must provide at least 10 days advance notice of annual and special meetings. Unlike the Indiana Condominium Act, IC 32-21-13-3 does not set an explicit maximum notice period for annual meetings — so there is no statutory 60-day ceiling for planned communities (comparable to the Washington HOA Act, which also uses a 90-day maximum for owner meetings). The governing documents of the planned community may impose additional requirements; check the declaration and bylaws for any notice provisions that are stricter than the statutory minimum.

A deficient meeting notice can render actions taken at the meeting voidable — particularly for important votes such as budget adoption, special assessments, or director elections. An owner who did not receive adequate notice or was excluded from a board meeting they had a right to attend may challenge the action taken. The remedy typically requires a new meeting with proper notice to re-take the challenged action. Under the Indiana Condominium Act, boards should keep records confirming when meeting notices were sent and to whom, to defend against later challenges to the meeting's procedural validity.
