Work with your broker so that you disclose the state of the title, and of your financial obligation to the association based on your ownership of the unit.

Often, owners and boards -- with association counsel, can craft disclosure documents and payment arrangements so that past-due assessments can be paid from the sale proceeds.

After foreclosure do I have to pay condo fee?

Assessments - you call them fees -- pay for the operation of the condominium community. Whoever enjoys the ownership privileges of the community is liable for the monthly assessments. If you are the owner upon whom the foreclosure is executed, you still owe your unpaid assessments up to that date. If you no longer own the unit and there are unpaid assessments that you owe, these are valid debts you are obliged to pay. Read your governing documents to verify that assessments are an automatic lien in your title, and that you may also be liable personally to pay the debt. When you purchase a condominium that has been in foreclosure, you are required to pay the ongoing assessments, and may have a responsibility to pay the assessments in arrears, depending on how the foreclosure agreement was structured.

If your condo goes into foreclosure do you still owe the condo fees?

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.


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.

Can a condominium put a lien in your condo?

Yes, a condominium can put a lien on your condo. The condominium depends on your payments to keep up the common areas. As a result, it has the right to collect its fees plus interest when you sell it if you do not pay your assessments and a lien is filed. As well, the association may be able to sell your unit in order to collect these unpaid assessments. Read your governing documents to remind yourself of your agreement to pay assessments and of your association's responsibility to pursue you until the assessments are paid. When you do not pay your assessments, you're essentially asking your neighbors to pay your bills.


Can condo fees be garnished?

Condominium assessments are income to the association. If there is a judgement against the association, owners who pay assessments may be liable to pay the judgement under a special assessment. Condominium owners pay assessments to support the operation of the community. Owners may have their income garnished, even those monies earmarked to pay their assessments.
