What might the board charge members for when inspecting records?

The board may charge members for reviewing time and copying costs when inspecting records because this aligns with the administrative and operational expenses incurred in fulfilling a member's request for access to the association's records. Inspecting records is a process that requires time, and any copying of documents entails material costs.

Charging for these activities ensures that the association can cover the expenses associated with maintaining transparency and accountability without imposing an unnecessary financial burden on the association itself. It is a common practice among community associations to implement such fees, ensuring that the requests are conducted in an efficient and structured manner. This approach aligns with the management of resources within the community and supports the proper maintenance of records.
