Can a condominium post the names and amount of past due assessments on the bulletin board?
You can read your governing documents to find the answer you want.Condominium assessments that owners pay are spent to cover communal costs, such as sewer and water, garbage and recycle collection, master insurance policy premiums, landscaping vendors, property management fees and so forth.Owners who do not pay their assessments or do not pay them on time are failing to live up to their agreement, which they signed when they purchased the condominium unit. When their neighbors pay on time and in full, non-paying or late-paying owners can be said to be 'living on the backs of their neighbors'.Look in your governing documents for the rights of the board to pursue unpaid or tardy assessments. These rights might include filing a fine, a formal lien -- assessments may be an automatic lien -- in a court, or foreclosing the unit to satisfy the unpaid debt.In US, there may be privacy laws that could prevent an owner's name from appearing on the bulletin board of tardy assessment payers, but it is possible that the unit number could be displayed. The unit number may be published by the treasurer in the financial reports distributed to all owners.In some countries, Japan for example, tardy assessment payers' names and unit numbers are posted on the bulletin boards, and the prevailing Japanese culture of shame motivates owners to pay their assessments.

If you do not pay your condo dues are you still a condo association member?
Yes. Your membership in your condominium association, which is the business chartered with the tasks involved with 'protecting, preserving and maintaining' the real estate assets you own in common with all other owners, is not optional. When you purchased your unit, you agreed in writing not only to membership, but to abide by the guidelines established in your governing documents. You agreed, as well, to pay your monthly assessments, which pay for such operating expenses as mowing the lawn, cleaning the pool, painting the exterior of the building(s), master insurance policy premiums, and regular contributions to reserves which the association uses to pay for replacing major systems, such as the roof(s). When you don't pay your assessments, the association is required to pursue you for the debt you owe. Penalties for non-payment may include late fees, notices of violation, a lien in your title, and in the worst case, sale of your unit to pay your unpaid assessments. Read your governing documents to most fully understand your responsibilities and rights as an owner in the private democracy where you own a condominium.
