Yes.

Read your governing documents to remind yourself of your legal obligations as a condominium owner.


As well, you can read there the steps that an association must follow in order to foreclose on your unit, for example, to satisfy the debt you may owe for unpaid assessments.

Can your condo association foreclose on your unit in Florida?

Yes. This is usually a last resort, but it is possible.


What happens to the loan when the condominium forecloses for assessments?

You'll need to be more clear about what's going on here. The "condominium" is a building. It can't "foreclose". The condo association can't "foreclose" on you either, since they don't hold title Only the title holder (i.e. your lending institution) can foreclose on the property.What the condo association can do is obtain a lien against the property. This is money you owe them, and if you try to sell the property, they're allowed to collect the amount of the lien out of the proceeds before you see a dime. If the lender forecloses on you, the lien from the condo association doesn't go away; you still owe it, but in this case the condo association will probably take you to court to recover it, most likely by garnishing your wages unless you have sufficient assets to pay it off.

If a condo management company places a lien on your condo will you be locked out of it?

First, the conodminium association placed the lien, the management company just did the paperwork. A lien is placed on your condo to make sure you can't sell it without the back debts being paid. It is done to protect the association. This is usually done when assessments aren't paid on time. If you have fallen behind on your payments, then the association can withhold certain services, possibly even turning off utilities (depending on your documents and state law), but can't lock you out of your home. They can, however, foreclose on your unit if assessments continue to go unpaid.


What happens if a resident can not pay a condo association assesment?

The condo association may file a lien against your condo unit. If you still don't pay the dues you owe, the condo association may sue you to foreclose on your condo.I highly recommend working out a payment plan with the association, if possible.When you don't pay your assessments, essentially you ask your neighbors to pay your bills.

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.
