AI HOA Assistant for Honolulu Condo Managers

Hawaii Revised Statutes §514B is the Hawaii Condominium Property Regime Act, the primary law governing all condominium associations in Honolulu and across Hawaii. It covers association formation, board governance, owner rights, meeting procedures, reserve fund requirements, and disclosure obligations. Because 62% of Honolulu residents live in condominiums, HRS §514B affects more Hawaii residents than almost any other property law in the state. IgeraFincas is pre-loaded with the full text of HRS §514B so your team can answer any owner question with citation-grade accuracy.

Under HRS §514B-148, Honolulu condo associations must conduct a reserve study and disclose the reserve fund status annually to all owners. The disclosure must include the current reserve balance, the estimated cost of major repairs and replacements, and the funding level as a percentage of the fully funded amount. Buyers must also receive this disclosure as part of the resale package under §514B-157. IgeraFincas can answer owner questions about reserve fund status directly, referencing your most recently uploaded financial statements.

Under HRS §514B-121, Honolulu condo association boards must hold an annual meeting of owners. Owners have the right to attend all open board meetings, receive at least 10 days notice for annual meetings, and request special meetings with a petition signed by at least 25% of the unit owners. Board meeting minutes must be made available to all owners upon request within a reasonable time. IgeraFincas answers meeting rights questions instantly and cites the exact statute section.

Yes. Under HRS §514B-22, a Honolulu condo association may amend its declaration to restrict or prohibit short-term rentals, including platforms like Airbnb and VRBO. Such amendments typically require a supermajority vote (67% or 75% depending on the declaration). Additionally, Honolulu City and County has its own short-term rental ordinances under ROH Chapter 21, which may impose additional restrictions regardless of what the association documents say. IgeraFincas navigates both layers and cites the applicable rule for your specific community.

Under HRS §514B-106, Honolulu condo association board members must be elected by secret ballot when requested by any owner. The association must maintain election records for at least one year. Board members may be removed by a majority vote of all unit owners at a special meeting. Candidates must meet any eligibility requirements stated in the bylaws, which commonly include being current on all association assessments. IgeraFincas answers election procedure questions citing both the statute and your community's actual bylaws.
