The reason you can't find 'dues' in your governing documents is potentally because these monies are called 'assessments'.
Every common interest community must receive income from owners in order to operate the community.
There is no standard. If there is an expiry condition of the governing documents, that detail is written within them. Otherwise, if your state law dictates expiry, and there is no mention of expiry in your governing documents, your state 'association ownership' law takes effect. Your board of directors are most able to answer your specific question.
It varies according to the severity and community impact of the violations. If everyone agrees there is a big problem, it can be easily dealt with by a unified front. Otherwise, it may be increasingly difficult, but your bylaws will dictate the procedures for voting, etc, to keep it "fair".It is very difficult for people OUTSIDE the association to enforce covenants, although I did see one zoning variance denied recently because an abutter knew about restrictive covenants of the applicants (prohibiting home-based business).
If the homeowners' association has recorded covenants and/or bylaws against the home in question, and the dues required by the covenants and/or bylaws have not been paid, a lien can be filed immediately in most cases, regardless of foreclosure or sale of the property. However, to ensure that the lien paperwork is filled out correctly (and avoid thousands of dollars in attorney fees should the homeowner challenge the lien in court), the homeowners' association should hire an attorney to prepare the lien documents.
Bylaws is one word.
The correct way is BYLAWS
Bylaws are rules or regulations that are used to govern its members and affairs. Bylaws are important because they set the expectation of how things should operate and without it there could be chaos within the organization.
Bylaws are rules that some entities, such as corporations and HOAs, use to run themselves. An organization with bylaws creates their own.
Bylaws for homeowner's associations will vary. However, some common items included in bylaws are procedures for holding meetings and voting, and the bylaws should state how they are to be changed if needed. Most bylaws have provisions against nuisances and creating conditions that reduce property values in the area.
In this sentence, the word bylaws should not be capitalized.
Capitalize "bylaws" when you're referring to those in a specific document. Otherwise, it is a common noun and doesn't require a capital letter.Example : "Most organized groups have bylaws."Example : "Bill went to the Plumbers Union meeting. He wanted to amend the Bylaws."
