How to Find the Board Members of an HOA

Quick answer: The board members of an HOA are listed on the association’s annual report with the state: Sunbiz in Florida, the Secretary of State in Texas. Search the association name, open the latest report, and the officers and directors appear with titles. To find boards for every association in a county at once, use a county-level board database built from those same filings.

Where board member names are recorded

Every homeowners, property owners and condominium association is a corporation, and every corporation files an annual report naming its officers and directors. That report is the authoritative source. Community websites, management-company portals and neighbourhood forums are secondary, and are usually a year or more behind.

Finding one HOA’s board

  1. Identify the association’s legal name. If only a street address is known, the county property appraiser record for the parcel names the subdivision or condominium, and the find an HOA by address or ZIP code guide covers the steps.
  2. Search that name on the state corporate registry: Sunbiz for Florida, the Texas Secretary of State for Texas. In Texas the management certificate filed with the county clerk also names the contact.
  3. Open the most recent annual report. Officers and directors are listed with titles: president, vice president, treasurer, secretary and director are the common ones.
  4. Note the filing date. Boards change at the annual meeting, so a report more than a year old may already be out of date.

Finding boards for a whole county or trade area

A contractor bidding across a county needs hundreds of boards, not one. The Florida HOA database holds the filed boards of 51,264 associations and the Texas HOA database a further 22,000, searchable by county, city or ZIP, with the officers, their titles and verified contact channels. Miami-Dade alone has 6,220 associations and 22,502 board seats; Harris County, Texas has 3,793 associations. County counts for every Florida county are on the Florida HOA statistics page.

Reaching the board once it is found

The president and treasurer decide most vendor contracts, and the management company, where one exists, screens the bids. The guide to reaching board members covers how to approach each role, and the FAQ explains how contact channels are sourced and verified.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the board members of an HOA?

Board members are listed on the association’s annual report filed with the state. Search the association name on Sunbiz (Florida) or the Texas Secretary of State, open the latest annual report, and the officers and directors appear with titles and a mailing address. A county-level database does the same lookup for every association at once.

Are HOA board members public record?

Yes. Officers and directors of a homeowners or condominium association are listed on the annual report the association files with the state, which is a public record. Home addresses are not always shown; the filing address is often the management company.

How do I find the HOA for a specific address?

Start with the county property appraiser record for the parcel, which usually names the subdivision or condominium. That name leads to the association on the state registry. The find-an-HOA-by-address page walks through the steps.

How many board members does an HOA have?

Florida associations average 4.0 filed seats and Texas associations 2.6. Condominiums tend to file three officers; larger HOAs seat five or more directors.
