Self-managed HOA in West Virginia: questions

Yes. Hiring a management company is a choice, not a legal requirement. A volunteer board runs the association under its governing documents and West Virginia law, and can still hire out specific tasks like accounting or legal review.

Each chapter above has a West Virginia page with the specific rules and sources. Your own declaration and bylaws apply on top of state law, and where they overlap the stricter requirement generally controls.

No. It is general information for volunteer boards. Have an attorney review anything that affects owners' rights, such as enforcement actions, collections, and amendments.
