Wisconsin
HOA Laws
Wisconsin created baseline HOA transparency requirements through 2021 Act 199 (effective January 1, 2023). The law requires recording covenants, filing annual public notices with the Department of Financial Institutions, providing 48-hour meeting notices, and fast, capped-fee payoff statements. Condominiums are separately governed by Chapter 703.
