What happens to the first mortgage on a condo in Florida when the condominium association forecloses for unpaid association fees?
For the condo association foreclosure to be valid, the bank who holds the mortgage must be notified of the foreclosure action, and the mortgage company has the opportunity to do a couple of things: They can pay the delinquent condo fees themselves, to protect their own interests, and force the borrower to pay them back. If the borrower is unable to repay the condo fees, it could put the mortgage payments in default, and be grounds for the lender to begin foreclosure proceedings. If the borrower is behind in their mortgage payments, the bank can join in the condo association's foreclosure action themselves. This is actually a great assistance to the bank, as it saves them the time and trouble of initiating the lawsuit - they just get to piggy-back on the condo association's foreclosure, which makes the foreclosure sale happen that much sooner. And since the bank's lien has priority over the condo association, the bank would be the one to get paid off first if the property got sold to a third party at the foreclosure sale, or if nobody bid on the property, they would be the ones who would become owners of the condo. If, for whatever reason, despite getting proper notice, the bank does nothing and the condo association forecloses on the property. The first mortgage holder has a lien that always survives the condo association's foreclosure. In fact, second mortgages are usually superior to the condo association's lien for unpaid maintenance fees. Usually the condo association gets stuck with owning a property with at least one outstanding mortgage with an outstanding mortgage balance greater than the actual value of the property because of the decline in real estate value. Most condo associations allow the first mortgage holder to foreclose on the property after their foreclosure is done. The main point is that in Florida a condo association foreclosure has no effect on the first mortgage.

Which US states allow HOA Foreclosures?
If a mortgage lender is forced to foreclose on a property with an outstanding, unpaid loan, there is probably nothing in any association structure that would protect a home from this bank action -- in any US state.Read your governing documents to determine whether or not the HOA can sell your property in order to satisfy debts that you owe.Another PerspectiveIn most states the HOA must file a civil action for unpaid fees and win a judgment lien. The authority to take property to satisfy a lien is derived from law, after due process, and not from any provisions of an HOA. State laws vary on the priority of the lien. Generally any existing mortgage and any existing tax liens take priority to the HOA lien. Should the HOA foreclose on the home, it receives proceeds from the sale only after paying off any superior liens. Most HOA liens do not result in a foreclosure sale since the legal costs are high. The property cannot be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid. The lien is generally paid from the proceeds of a sale to a new owner before the net proceeds are turned over to the seller.For greater detail regarding lien foreclosures in a particular state you need to research the laws in that state.
