The homeowner association rules and state law will govern the actions that can be taken to assess and collect penalties against members who are in violation, and it may well include placing a lien prior to a lawsuit to stop the violation and collect damages or penalties. A lien would be to collect money owed the association only (such as fines for the violation)--a "notice of non-compliance" may be recorded for the violation itself. Please note that a lien or notice of non-compliance will usually be the prerequisite to a lawsuit initiated by the homeowner's association to secure compliance with the covenants/CC&Rs (injunctive relief) and/or collect the fines owed (foreclosure).

Read your home owner's rules and bylaws. You may have agreed to the terms when you bought the property. Laws vary from state to state, but they probably can!

Read your governing documents to determine the basis upon which the association can file a lien against your title.

There is no standard.
