SF 1750 Compliance Audits

Find the gaps in your association's practices before an owner, an attorney, or a court finds them for you. A practical audit — not a legal opinion — with a fix list your board can actually work through.

What it is

A structured review of how your association actually operates — contracts, bid records, vendor relationships, meeting minutes, and disclosure practices — measured against what Minnesota's SF 1750 expects. You get a written gap report in plain English and a prioritized fix list: what's urgent, what's important, and what's fine as it is.

This is an operational audit by a construction and association-governance practitioner. It complements your attorney's legal review; it doesn't replace it. New to the law? Start with our plain-English SF 1750 guide.

Who it's for

  • Boards that just learned about SF 1750 and want to know honestly where they stand.
  • Associations with long-standing vendor relationships that predate the law and have never been competitively bid.
  • Boards whose manager runs their projects and who need an independent read on whether that arrangement is now a conflict.
  • Management companies that want their book of associations reviewed before a problem surfaces. See the partnership program.

How it works

  • Document collection. We give you a short list of what to pull — contracts, bid files, minutes, vendor lists, disclosure records.
  • Review and interviews. We review the record and talk with the board (and manager, if applicable) about how decisions actually get made.
  • Gap report. Each finding states what the law expects, what your association currently does, and the specific fix — no legalese, no padding.
  • Prioritized action plan. Ranked by risk, with a name and a date on each item, so it gets done between meetings.
  • Optional follow-through. Where fixes need an independent party — like running a compliant bid — we can carry them out, or you can take the plan and run.

Rather know now than find out later?

Finding the gaps yourself costs a lot less than having an owner's attorney find them for you.
