Tennessee HOA laws
What Tennessee asks of your association
Tennessee has no single HOA statute. HOAs run under their recorded declaration and bylaws, and incorporated associations follow the Tennessee Nonprofit Corporation Act.
Tennessee has no comprehensive HOA-specific statute. Associations here are governed mainly by their recorded declaration and bylaws, plus the state's general nonprofit corporation law. The points below come from that corporate law, not an HOA-specific act.
Meetings
Annual members' meeting
T.C.A. §48-57-101Hold an annual members' meeting as provided; failure to hold one does not invalidate corporate acts.
Records
Inspection of records
T.C.A. §48-66-102Members may inspect and copy the association's records under the Act's procedures.

This is general information to help boards get oriented, not legal advice. HOA statutes change and courts interpret them differently case to case. Confirm specifics with your association's attorney before acting.
