Meetings and Decisions

The governing documents generally specify the minimum number of directors (the “quorum”) that must be present for decisions to be made at a board meeting. When the governing documents do not specify a director quorum, a majority of directors shall be required for a quorum. A majority vote of the directors attending a meeting can make decisions unless the governing documents impose a higher voting requirement.

The governing documents specify the minimum amount owners present for a quorum. This is also known as the owner voting power. This minimum amount must be present for decisions to be made at an owner meeting. In Oregon, the law sets 20% as the minimum quorum, and in Washington, the minimum quorum is 25% for condominiums. There is no minimum quorum requirement in Washington for planned unit developments.
