No. There must be (a) recorded instrument(s) giving the authority for a HOA to file a lien.
If a homeowner is part of a homeowners association (HOA) and they are not paying their dues or assessments, the HOA typically has the right to place a lien on the property.

The year's dues should be prorated according to what portion of the year that the seller owned the home and what portion that the buyer owned it. It is possible that the buyer gets a credit for partial HOA dues on the closing statement, then must pay a full year's dues to the HOA. Or the title company may pay dues directly to the HOA out of funds from closing. Check with the title company to find out what exactly happened at closing.
The number of years a homeowners association (HOA) can collect dues depends on the specific laws and regulations in the jurisdiction where the HOA is located. In some states, there may be a statute of limitations that limits the number of years an HOA can collect dues, typically ranging from 3 to 10 years. However, it is recommended to consult with a lawyer or review the governing documents of the HOA to determine the exact time frame for collecting dues.
