Mediating the great mailbox dispute
Find how many members your HOA needs — in person or by proxy — to hold a valid meeting or election. Enter your member count and the quorum percentage from your bylaws.
Quick answer
To calculate HOA quorum, multiply your total voting members by the quorum percentage in your bylaws and round up. A 100-member HOA with a 25% quorum needs 25 members represented — in person or by proxy — to open the meeting. Below the threshold, the board usually cannot transact business.
One vote per lot/unit unless your CC&Rs say otherwise.
Most bylaws count proxies toward quorum. Confirm yours.

You need at least 25 of 100 members represented (in person or by proxy) to open the meeting and transact business. If quorum fails, most bylaws allow adjourning and reconvening at a lower threshold — check yours.

Start your HOA for freeMultiply your total number of voting members (usually one per lot or unit) by the quorum percentage set in your bylaws, then round up to the next whole member. For example, a 100-member HOA with a 25% quorum requirement needs 25 members represented — in person or by proxy — to hold a valid meeting.
In most associations, yes — a valid proxy counts a member as represented for quorum purposes even if they are not physically present. Always confirm your governing documents, because some bylaws limit how many proxies one person may hold or exclude certain proxies from the quorum count.
If quorum is not met, the board generally cannot transact official business or hold a binding vote. Most bylaws allow the meeting to be adjourned and reconvened, often at a reduced quorum threshold for the second attempt. Check your bylaws for the specific adjournment rule and notice requirements.
Common HOA quorum requirements range from 10% to 50% of voting members, with 25% being a frequent default. Your exact threshold is set in your bylaws or CC&Rs and can differ for regular meetings, special meetings, and elections. Enter your own percentage above for an accurate result.
