Indiana HOA & Condo Quorum & Supermajority Calculator — Ind. Code 32-25.5-3 + 32-25-7 (67% / 75% Amendment)

How this calculator works

This is a quorum-and-threshold validator for Indiana HOA and condominium member votes. Given the community type, total members or unit owners, in-person attendance, proxy count, vote type, and any declaration-specified overrides, it returns:

1. Whether quorum has been met (total ballots compared against the effective quorum requirement under Ind. Code 32-25.5-3-3 governing-documents specification for HOAs, 32-25-7 declaration specification for condominiums, or the Indiana customary default — 25% for HOAs reflecting typical low HOA turnout, 51% for condominiums consistent with Ind. Code 23-17 nonprofit-corporation principles).
2. The yes votes required to pass for the vote type — 67% / two-thirds of total voting power for HOA declaration amendments under Ind. Code 32-25.5-3-4, 75% of total for condominium declaration amendments under 32-25-7, 80% of total for condominium termination, per bylaws for bylaws amendments, majority of TOTAL membership for board removal, majority of quorum for regular votes.
3. The current outcome (PASSED, FAILED, PENDING, or NO-QUORUM) based on the supplied vote tally.

Use the calculator before convening a member meeting to confirm the procedural framework, during ballot counting to validate the threshold, and after a meeting to memorialize the outcome in the secretary minutes.

The relevant IC 32-25 / 32-25.5 statute

Indiana common-interest community voting operates under two parallel statutory frameworks:

Indiana Homeowners Association Act — Ind. Code Title 32 Article 25.5. Governs non-condominium common-interest communities (planned communities, single-family HOAs). Voting provisions are concentrated in Ind. Code 32-25.5-3 (governance).

• Ind. Code 32-25.5-3-3 — HOA quorum at member meetings is as specified in the governing documents. When unspecified, the Indiana customary default is 25% of the common interest, reflecting typical low HOA turnout.
• Ind. Code 32-25.5-3-4 — HOA declaration amendments typically require 67% (two-thirds) of the voting power of the members unless the declaration specifies a higher threshold.

Indiana Condominium Act — Ind. Code Title 32 Article 25. Governs condominium associations. Voting provisions are concentrated in Ind. Code 32-25-7 (voting and meetings).

• Ind. Code 32-25-7 (Quorum) — Condominium quorum at unit-owner meetings is as specified in the declaration or bylaws. When unspecified, Indiana condominium practice typically uses 51% (majority) as the default consistent with general non-profit corporation principles under Ind. Code 23-17.
• Ind. Code 32-25-7 (Declaration amendment) — Condominium declaration amendments typically require 75% of the voting power of the unit owners unless the declaration specifies a higher threshold. This is the UCIOA model-act default and aligns with most modern state condominium statutes.
• Ind. Code 32-25-7 (Termination) — Termination typically requires 80% of the voting power of the unit owners, aligned with the UCIOA position.

Board removal. Indiana HOAs and condominiums typically permit board removal by a MAJORITY OF TOTAL MEMBERSHIP (not majority of those present). Indiana practice is stricter than many other states because the lower quorum defaults create a risk of small minorities removing duly-elected board members.

Ind. Code 23-17 (Indiana Nonprofit Corporation Act) — General non-profit corporation defaults applied as gap-filler when governing documents are silent.

Indiana-specific gotchas (NO super-priority, judicial foreclosure default, no CAM licensure)

INDIANA DOES NOT FORMALLY LICENSE CAMs. Unlike Florida (Fla. Stat. 468.431 LCAM), Nevada (NRS 116A CAM), and DC (CICM), Indiana has NO state-level licensure requirement for HOA or condominium managers. Indiana common-interest community management is performed by unlicensed individuals or by management companies that hold general business and real-estate-broker licenses. Practical consequence: Indiana boards bear primary responsibility for governance compliance and the calculator (with statute citations) is intended as a tool the board secretary can use directly without a licensed CAM intermediary.

INDIANA HAS NO SUPER-PRIORITY LIEN. Unlike the UCIOA-style jurisdictions (DC, Hawaii, Colorado, Nevada), Indiana's Ind. Code 32-25-6-3 does not give the association any statutory priority over a prior first mortgage of record. This is the dominant fact of Indiana common-interest community collection economics — see the Indiana Condo Assessment Lien Calculator in this cluster for the full analysis.

INDIANA IS JUDICIAL-ONLY FOR ASSESSMENT FORECLOSURE. Ind. Code 32-29 (Mortgage Foreclosure) is the operative enforcement path. Indiana does not have a deed-of-trust nonjudicial regime for HOA or condo assessments. The 12 to 18 month judicial timeline shapes the collection economics — see the Indiana HOA Foreclosure Timeline Calculator in this cluster.

THE 67% HOA / 75% CONDO DECLARATION-AMENDMENT THRESHOLD IS OF-TOTAL, NOT OF-VOTERS. This is the single most common voting-threshold error in Indiana common-interest community practice. The threshold applies to TOTAL voting power, not to votes cast. In an 80-member HOA with 50 voters returning ballots (62% turnout), 40 yes votes (80% of voters) is only 50% of total — well short of the 54-vote HOA threshold and the amendment FAILS. Boards routinely announce declaration amendments as passed based on majority-of-voters math; this is wrong. The calculator distinguishes the two thresholds explicitly to prevent the error.

HOA THRESHOLD (67%) DIFFERS FROM CONDOMINIUM THRESHOLD (75%). The Indiana HOA Act uses a materially lower 67% / two-thirds declaration-amendment threshold than the condominium 75% threshold. This reflects a policy recognition that HOA member engagement is typically lower than condominium owner engagement. Practitioners working across both regimes must select the correct threshold; the calculator drives off the community-type selector.

BOARD REMOVAL REQUIRES MAJORITY OF TOTAL MEMBERSHIP. Indiana's stricter board-removal rule (majority of TOTAL membership rather than majority of those present) reflects a policy preference: the lower Indiana quorum defaults create a risk of small minorities removing duly-elected board members. An 80-member HOA with 25% quorum (20 members) could remove a board member with 11 votes under a majority-of-quorum rule; the majority-of-total-membership rule requires 41 votes regardless of turnout. The calculator applies the stricter rule by default.

QUORUM DEFAULTS ARE GAP-FILLERS, NOT STATUTORY FLOORS. The 25% HOA / 51% condo defaults derive from Indiana customary practice applied when governing documents are silent. Indiana practice varies widely: many HOA declarations specify 10%, 33%, or 51%; many condominium declarations specify 33% or 51%. Always check the actual governing documents before relying on the calculator default.

PROXIES ARE COMMON BUT MUST BE CURRENT. Indiana governing documents commonly permit proxies for member voting; the calculator counts proxies once for quorum and once for the tally. Indiana bylaws commonly specify an 11-month maximum proxy validity. Proxies older than the period are invalid even if all other elements are met. For OF-TOTAL threshold votes (HOA declaration amendments at 67%, condominium declaration amendments at 75%, termination at 80%), aggressive proxy campaigns are typically necessary to reach the threshold.

What this calculator does NOT model

The calculator implements the Indiana QUORUM-AND-SUPERMAJORITY math. It does NOT:

• Model the heightened-threshold and unanimous-consent categories under Ind. Code 32-25-7 for property-affecting condominium amendments (unit-boundary changes, allocated-interest changes, conversion to common elements, etc.). If your vote type falls into one of these categories, the 75% threshold understates the requirement; consult counsel.
• Model the bylaws-amendment procedures in detail — the bylaws specify the threshold and the calculator uses a default majority-of-quorum if no declaration override is supplied.
• Model the casualty and takings exceptions to termination that permit termination without the standard threshold.
• Validate the form of proxies (signature, witness, expiration, delegation chain).
• Model the board meeting procedures (board meetings have separate quorum and notice requirements typically specified in the bylaws).
• Model the special-assessment ratification mechanics for assessments above a declaration-specified threshold.
• Validate compliance with the meeting notice requirements that gate the vote.
• Apply the Indiana Nonprofit Corporation Act gap-filler provisions where they differ from the customary defaults.

For any consequential vote, retain Indiana counsel with Title 32 Article 25 / 25.5 experience to oversee the procedural compliance review.
