CEO and host Tom Freeley brings some end-of-year holiday cheer and good tidings in this festive episode. One recent update that brings good news is on the Corporate Transparency Act. At the time of this recording, HOAs and managers responsible for filing on behalf of their client boards were relieved of the requirement to provide beneficial ownership information to the U.S. Treasury Department. Without our commitment to working together as a community, this change wouldn’t have been possible. Speaking of community, in 2024 CACM supported numerous charity organizations with your help. Including the Ronald McDonald House, Second Harvest Food Bank, Compassion Planet, Bill Wilson’s Center for Unhoused Youth, Redwood Empire Food Bank, and One Warm Coat, and multiple donation drives are planned for 2025. How are you spreading cheer and happiness? Make sure to stay to the end of this episode for a heart-warming and funny HOA holiday poem.

And with every unique property, there is a specific storm water filtration system to pair with it. Providing the proper maintenance and care to these systems can either make or break your property and your wallet.

CEO and podcast host Tom Freeley talks about the qualifications and the qualities of leaders. Leaders set goals, provide guidance, surround themselves with talented people and have a clear vision for teams and organizations. A leader also is an influencer of people, who can coach a group to achieve a common goal, and who is willing and able to ask for help. Trust and communication are key. Difficult and tough decisions are part of the job. Embrace them! Listen in for more of Tom’s thoughts on leadership. -- Links & Resources: Visit us at www.cacm.org To listen to other podcast episodes, go to https://cacm.org/podcast/ Follow us on social media: @cacmchat LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cacm/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CACMchat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cacmchat/ X: https://x.com/CACMchat…
The deadline to comply with the Corporate Transparency Act is quickly approaching (December 31, 2024). What does that mean for homeowners’ associations, which are included in the BOI reporting requirements of the act? Which communities are exempt? What must beneficial owners file with the Department of Treasury and what are the penalties for non-compliance? Dawn Bauman, Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs for the Community Associations Institute and Executive Director of the Foundation for Community Association Research, provides an update on the legislation and CAI’s lawsuit to exempt community associations. While CAI continues to work with the Federal Government to repeal or delay the act, Bauman advises HOAs and boards to be prepared to comply by January 1.

The HOA industry is in a very active phase of consolidation with mergers and acquisitions.

Homeowners’ associations should set aside anywhere from 15 to 40 percent of their annual budget to adequately fund reserves, says Reserve Specialist Matthew Swain. However, many boards and associations kick the can down the road and avoid setting aside money into their reserve fund because they don’t want to increase assessments. But if you treat reserves like an impound account on a mortgage, it will be easier for boards and associations to pay expenses when components fail or need to be replaced or repaired. In this episode, host Tom Freeley and Swain discuss how to approach a reserve budget, what a reserve study should cover, the three- part test for reserve studies, and national reserve study standards.

In part two of this 2024 legislative update, community management executive Joseph Price weighs in on the balcony bill, the CID repair bill and the electronic voting bill, all which were recently signed into law. What now? How do you start to implement at the association level? It’s not going to be plug and play. Plus, the deadline to comply with the Corporate Transparency Act looms large and association boards have to act sooner rather than later. As it currently stands, there are no exemptions for homeowners’ associations. Take the time to learn about new legislation and the steps you will need to take, host Tom Freeley advises.
