CONSIDER DELINQUENCIES HOA fees and assessments provide the monies to carry out the community's responsibilities, and unpaid assessments can't be ignored. Letting even a couple of delinquencies slide by can disrupt the association's entire budget and lead to potential legal trouble. Keep a record of delinquent accounts, employ strict collection policies, and address delinquent assessments swiftly. Recognizing delinquency patterns and budgeting for defaults can preserve financial stability. SHARE THE BUDGET WITH HOMEOWNERS Communication, openness, and proper documentation are the basics of a strong relationship between an HOA board and residents. Because homeowners trust board members to manage community funds, it's vital to be open and honest about the budget and its effects. Association members have the right to know how their money is being used and give input, and board members should develop a concise budget report, use multiple communication channels to share the budget, and host meetings to discuss the budget to demonstrate good stewardship and promote harmony. 09 6 5 4 3 7 8 9 10 2
