How do we put a lien on a homeowner in an HOA that does not pay their dues?
While it is possible to write up a statutory lien form based on your state's laws, I don't recommend it. Any mistakes or omissions you make will cost the HOA thousands of dollars in attorney fees. Therefore, the best way is to contact a real estate attorney in your area and let him or her do the work. In addition, most states allow HOA's to collect attorney fees from homeowners who haven't paid their dues, so odds are the attorney won't cost the HOA a penny (once the lien has been paid).
Can a homeowners' association force owner to pay fees that were collected by former homeowner association?
Your question sounds like there was an original HOA, which was superseded by a new HOA. Every HOA collects assessments to operate the community, and as an owner, your governing documents define your responsibilities to pay and the association's responsibilities to collect assessments. The new HOA has its own form of assessments, regardless of the form of assessments paid to the original HOA.
How are HOA fees calculated?
HOA fees are based on a variety of things. The management association bidding to run an HOA determines the hard costs of things like utilities, landscaping, pool maintenance, administrative costs like attorney fees, billing and postage plus any other required overhead. They then add on their profit margin for servicing the account. The profit figure will be whatever the local market will bear and there is a huge variation between regions. In some areas the fees have become so onerous that the actual homeowners are taking over their associations and managing it themselves. This works well in small subdivisions.
Is there a maximum amount of HOA fees that can be recovered with a lien?
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.
