It is unlikely that an irrevocable trust gives the property any immunity from liens.
AnswerYes. If the property is owned by an irrevocable trust the HOA can place a lien against the property and the trust. The HOA should research the trust so that the present trustees can be mentioned on the lien. Although debts are sometimes difficult to collect from a trust, the property cannot be sold or mortgaged unless the lien is paid.

Generally any existing mortgage and any existing tax liens take priority to the HOA lien.
