§ 6819 Lien Notice Compliance Costs

Key Takeaways

  • •If a group (like a homeowners association) doesn't follow the rules before putting a lien on your property, they have to start the warning process all over again.
  • •The group has to pay for the cost of starting over, not the homeowner.
  • •This rule is to make sure people get the right warnings before a lien is put on their property.

Example

Imagine your homeowners association didn't send you the right letters before trying to put a lien on your house for unpaid fees.

They would have to start the whole warning process again, and they can't make you pay for the cost of sending those letters again.
