Association assessments are paid by the owner of record. If your name remains on the deed, you owe assessments.In most cases, the homeowner or unit owner is responsible for paying the HOA fees prior to the foreclosure. Once the lender takes legal possession by foreclosure no further fees are added to the amount due but the HOA can pursue payment of the past due amount. In Florida, an HOA can go after a homeowner for past due fees even after the bank has foreclosed by using the process used for a 'deficiency judgment'.
Pay all your past due assessments and fees and the legal costs associated with trying to collect them.
Yes. A note on the interest part--your state's law will dictate what interest, if any, you will receive. And you will assume the HOA's liability--if the lien is later declared invalid, you will be responsible for the homeowner's court costs. Make sure that it is a part of the sale of the lien that the HOA will cooperate in any foreclosure proceedings that might occur to collect the lien--without them, the homeowner will likely win.
Your financial responsibilities are detailed in the transaction documents. There is no standard answer to your question.

Foreclosure of an HOA unit usually means that someone other than you owns the unit.Depending on your situation, and depending on the claim filed for monies you owe, you may be personally liable for these amounts also.In addition, if you've been allowed to remain in the unit as a tenant, for example, you maybe responsible for these monies.Your attorney can help you understand your particular responsibility in your unique situation.
The seller should pay up to and including the day of closing.
Yes, until the bank is the owner. The fact you're in foreclosure doesn't change the fact utilities need to be paid as well as your staff. It's not only the bank that can put you into foreclosure; even your HOA/condo association can force the sale of your home due to delinquency.
State laws are different on this topic. Your governing documents and the state law may prioritize HOA assessments above the recovery rights of a lender at the time of foreclosure, for example, or not. The lien may cover six months' worth of assessments, or more. In direct answer to your question: Yes. The maximum amount that can be recovered with a lien is the amount owed, plus whatever late fees, attorney's fees, and other fees involved in recovering the payment.
We were granted a chapter 13 over a year ago in which we surrendered out house. The lender, GMAC, has not sold the home, but keeps putting if on the market and taking it off. No one has lived there for the last two years, yet our HOA still expects us to pay for the road maintenance fees - even though we no longer even drive there or live there. Is this right? What can we do? Sorry, but when I tried to enter this in as a question, it kept cutting me off after just the first two sentences.
