Background information

What is a community association?

A joint property association manages land, rights, or facilities shared by multiple properties, such as roads, green spaces, water and sewer systems, or parking. All property owners with a share in the joint property association are automatically members, and the board manages the association on their behalf in accordance with the Joint Property Management Act.

Law

What the Law Requires of the Board of Directors

Community associations are governed by the Act on the Administration of Community Associations (SFL) and the Public Works Act. Here are some of the most important requirements.

1
The board of directors may consist of one or more members
Unlike housing cooperatives, there is no legal requirement for a minimum of three members (Section 30 of the Act on the Administration of Joint Property Associations), but the bylaws govern the composition of the board. The composition of the board must be reported to the Joint Property Association Registry at Lantmäteriet.
2
The association manages the common property
Roads, green spaces, water and sewer systems, or other common facilities as specified in the construction decision.
3
The association's general meeting is the highest decision-making body
The general meeting elects the board of directors, adopts the bylaws, and decides on matters of significant financial importance.
4
The board is responsible for tax assessment
Membership fees are collected to cover the association's expenses, in accordance with the established billing schedule.
5
The bylaws govern the procedures for convening meetings and making decisions
The association’s bylaws shall specify how often meetings are to be held and how notice of such meetings is to be given.
6
The County Administrative Board is responsible for oversight
In the event of serious deficiencies, the county administrative board may appoint an administrator to manage the association's affairs.
Meeting Structure

Board Meetings and Minutes

Well-organized meetings are the foundation of effective board work, whether it’s a board meeting or a general meeting.

1
Send the invitation on time
The notice of meeting must include the date, time, location, and agenda. The deadlines and procedures for issuing notices of meeting specified in the bylaws apply to the association’s general meeting.
With Reduca, meeting notices are sent digitally, and all members confirm their attendance immediately.
2
Verify quorum
The meeting has a quorum when a sufficient number of members are present, in accordance with the association's bylaws.
3
Select an adjuster
One of the members is appointed as the person responsible for verifying the minutes at the beginning of the meeting to review and sign them.
Please feel free to rotate the role of minute-taker; this helps spread knowledge and responsibility throughout the board.
4
Review the cases and make decisions
Go through the agenda item by item. Each item should conclude with a clear decision or be tabled.
5
Write and sign the minutes
The minutes must be completed within a reasonable time and signed by the chair and the person verifying the minutes.
With Reduca, the agreement is signed digitally using BankID—it is legally valid and requires no paperwork.
Planning

The Board's Annual Cycle

A well-planned board year is the foundation for a well-run association and a fair distribution of costs.

January–February — Planning
Draw up the annual plan, schedule board meetings and the association meeting. Review the maintenance needs for the common areas.
March–April — Preparations for the annual meeting
Prepare the annual financial report and the annual report. Send out a notice of the annual meeting in accordance with the bylaws.
May — Association Meeting
Hold the annual meeting. Elect a new board of directors, approve the annual report, and decide on the assessment of dues.

Carry out scheduled maintenance of roads, green spaces, and other common facilities.

Begin working on the budget proposal and the billing schedule for the coming year.

Common Mistakes in Homeowners' Associations

We see these mistakes time and time again, and they're easy to avoid.

Maintenance of the common property is being neglected
Without ongoing maintenance planning, roads, water and sewer systems, and green spaces become more expensive to repair once something breaks.
→ Schedule maintenance as part of your annual cycle rather than waiting for urgent breakdowns.
Tax assessments are decided too late
Postponing decisions on membership dues risks causing liquidity problems when expenses become due.
→ Secure approval for the budget and tax assessment well in advance of the annual meeting.
Unclear division of responsibilities regarding the facility
When no one has clear responsibility for an issue such as road maintenance, follow-up efforts suffer.
→ Allocate responsibilities within the board and document who does what.
Minutes are submitted late
Decisions that aren't documented in a timely manner can be called into question, and important details are forgotten.
→ Write the minutes as soon as possible after the meeting. Sign them digitally with BankID directly in Reduca.
The membership list is out of date
Outdated information about property owners causes problems with notices and billing.
→ Keep track of changes in ownership on an ongoing basis, not just at the shareholders' meeting.
Documents go missing when the board changes
Minutes and construction decisions stored in personal email inboxes are lost when members step down.
→ Gather all documentation in Reduca; it belongs to the association, not to any one person.
Frequently Asked Questions

Questions and Answers About the Community Association

The most common questions we receive from the boards of homeowners' associations.

A board management platform for a homeowners’ association is a digital tool that allows the board to centralize meetings, minutes, agreements, and documents in one place instead of scattering them across emails and folders. Reduca is an example of such a platform, built specifically for associations, foundations, and companies.
The Act on the Administration of Jointly Owned Properties requires only one or more board members; there is no minimum requirement of three, as there is in a condominium association. Instead, the composition of the board is governed by the association’s own bylaws.
In a co-ownership arrangement, the property owners manage the common property jointly without a formal board of directors. A common property association, on the other hand, is a registered legal entity with a board of directors, bylaws, and its own finances, which simplifies decision-making.
While it is not a legal requirement, digital signing with BankID makes it easier to have minutes and resolutions signed by multiple board members quickly, with a legally binding result that is stored securely.
The price depends on the size and needs of the association. Reduca offers a free 30-day trial with no strings attached, and associations with the Villaägarnas Security Agreement through Samfälligheterna receive 60 days free and a 25 percent discount.
