§ 5615 Assessment Increase Notice Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •If your homeowners association (HOA) wants to charge you more money, they have to tell you first.
  • •They must send you a personal notice about the extra fee.
  • •They can't tell you too early or too late—it has to be between 30 and 60 days before the new fee starts.

Example

Your HOA decides to charge everyone an extra $50 a month for a new park.

They must send you a letter or email about this new $50 fee at least 30 days before it starts, but not more than 60 days early. If they tell you only 20 days before, that’s too late and not allowed.
