MISTAKE #1: NOT
CONSULTING GOVERNING
DOCUMENTS OR LAWS
HOA governing documents are legally binding documents that
explain how a community is governed. In them, you'll find details
about the process for collecting unpaid dues, the rights of the
board in enforcing the rules, and the rights of homeowners to
question or contest enforcement measures.
Without referring to the governing documents on collections
procedures, board members risk getting themselves and the
community into legal trouble.
Similarly, boards must also be aware of the local and state-level
laws related to collections efforts. These additional regulations can
often be difficult to decipher. Always lean on the guidance of an
HOA attorney for proper collections enforcement.
