New Mexico Homeowners Association Law Library
New Mexico Condo, Co-op & HOA Law — A Plain-English Reference for Board Members
111 sections of New Mexico community-association law, translated into plain English. New Mexico split the two kinds of community, then kept the corporate body underneath. Lot HOAs live under the Homeowner Association Act (NMSA 47-16). Condos created after May 19, 1982 live under the Condominium Act (NMSA 47-7A through 47-7D). Pre-1982 condos stay under the Building Unit Ownership Act until the owners record a majority resolution opting in. Incorporated boards also live under the Nonprofit Corporation Act (Chapter 53 Article 8) for meetings, directors, and records. There is no statewide HOA roster. SoShiny tracks all three so your board doesn’t have to.

Run your New Mexico community on a platform built around the statute you actually live under.
Every SoShiny feature ships statute-aware: HOA boards get the 10-to-50-day owner-meeting notice, the ten-business-day records clock with a fifty-dollar-a-day penalty, and the 14-day fine hearing in §47-16-18; condo boards get the matching 10-to-60-day notice, the 20-percent quorum, and the three-year assessment lien with no super-priority. Meeting notices, owner records, and document libraries pre-tag the sections that govern them. New Mexico does not publish a statewide association roster — we will not pretend it does.
