A:
In North Carolina, homeowners association (HOA) members typically have the right to access certain documents related to the actions and decisions of the HOA and its committees. The North Carolina Planned Community Act and Condominium Act generally require HOAs to provide access to various records to members upon request. These records may include minutes of committee meetings, financial statements, budgets, and other documents related to the decisions and actions of the HOA.
However, it's important to note that not all documents may be accessible, as some records may be considered confidential or sensitive. Additionally, the specific rights and procedures for accessing HOA records can vary depending on the HOA's governing documents and applicable state laws.
