What affect will filing a lien against an HOA have on the neighborhood homeowners and their property?
Apparently the association owes a debt over which a lien has been filed. Effectively, the lien can cloud the title of all the units/ homes in the association. It is in the best interests of all the members and of the association's board to settle this matter quickly and file a release of the lien.
What happens when a lien is put on your home by the homeowners association?
Your association placed a lien on your property based on your failure to pay your assessments. The easiest way for you to clear the lien is to pay the debt you owe and ask the association to release the lien. (Assessments pay for the maintenance of the property that you own together with all the other owners in the association. You agreed to pay assessments when you purchased your property.) Your board has attempted to collect your unpaid assessments, and is chartered by your governing documents to collect this debt. The lien clouds the title to your property, so you will have trouble selling it without paying the debt and authorizing the association to release the lien. A clouded title can become problematic should you desire to refinance your home, take out another mortgage on it or otherwise use your title as collateral. In addition, a lien against your property will probably appear on your credit report. Some associations can also foreclose on your property and sell it to satisfy the debt that you owe. Your governing documents will clarify where in the collection process, filing a lien might be positioned.
What does it mean when a homeowners association places a lien on a house?
This lien clouds your title of ownership, probably because you owe the association money. To clear the lien, pay the debt, then ask their attorney for a Release of Lien, which you can file at the local county courthouse. This clears your title.
How do you file property lien in Illinois?
Since you chose this category, apparently you want to file a lien against a condominium unit owner's title to their property. Best practices dictate that your association attorney can help you. You need your governing documents, which specify when to file a lien, and you need the ledger of the non-paying (assessments) owner. With this information your association attorney can file the lien in the local courthouse. In order to release the lien, your attorney will add all fees and expenses to the amount due -- in addition to the unpaid assessments, so that the association bears no expense in this process. _______________ In non-association matters, it remains a good idea to involve an attorney. Be prepared with the proof of the debt owed and your standing (with rights to collect) in the matter.

Can homeowners associations put a lien on your house?
Your association can refer to its governing documents and invoke them to file a lien on your title, because of the special language written there intended to facilitate collection of monies owed by owners who promised to pay, and who do not pay. Usually, there is no limit so that the association can file a lien whenever it becomes necessary. Depending on state laws and regulations, they can and do put liens on homes where the owners have disregarded rules (fines), and not paid assessments that homeowners owe for the common expenses required to operate the community. In order to release the lien, the owner must pay the monies owed, including attorneys fees and filing costs associated with expenses incurred by the association to file the lien.
Does a homeowners association have to be officially registered in your state to be valid?
The association is defined in the land-use documents that are on file in your local land-use office. If the association is a corporation, then annual registration with the Secretary of State is a best practice. If your association has fallen into an inactive state, you may be able to resist the covenants, conditions, reservations and restrictions you agreed to honour when you purchased your home in the association -- for a time. However, be aware that inactivity does not release you -- or any owner -- from the responsibilities and obligations you agreed to honour. If you question the association's right to conduct the association's business, your challenge can be found in your governing documents. A board's failure to register with the Secretary of State may pose limitations on the board's power to act: a common-interest-community-savvy attorney can answer your question specifically.
