HOA Sues Its Own Former President Over $30,886 in Improperly Billed Repairs

The Woodlands Property Owners Association in Branson, Missouri sued its former president, Cheryl Honey, alleging she directed the association's management company to pay $30,886 for interior repairs to her own condo — costs the lawsuit says should have been billed to her directly instead of the HOA as a whole.

The lawsuit is a reminder that board-member self-dealing isn't unique to large Florida condo towers — it shows up in small associations too, and it's exactly the kind of thing an annual, line-by-line reconciliation against vendor contracts and board decisions is meant to catch.
