Bill > SB1313

This bill introduces new regulations for homeowners' associations (HOAs) in Missouri, requiring them to automatically dissolve after ten years unless renewed through a specific voting process. Specifically, an HOA must hold an election where at least 85% of all members must vote in favor of renewal within 90 days of the dissolution date. If the association fails to achieve this high threshold of support, it will be immediately dissolved, and member homeowners cannot be subject to another association for ten years unless 85% of homeowners approve. The bill defines a homeowners' association as a nonprofit organization that manages common areas and can assess members for expenses, explicitly excluding condominium and residential cooperative associations. Existing associations that have been in place for at least ten years as of August 28, 2026, must hold their first renewal election by December 31, 2026, and then every ten years thereafter. This legislation aims to give homeowners more control over the longevity and governance of their residential community associations by requiring periodic renewal and high levels of member consensus.
