Best Answer

Read your governing documents to determine whether you are personally liable for what you owe the association, or not.

In any event, having a lien filed against the title for property you own will probably be noted on your credit reports, so you are implicated personally in that way when the lien is filed against the property.

I would like to find out how I can have my property exempted from our local property owners association?

If you purchased your property subject to the by-laws and rules & regulations of a Homeowner's Association you cannot remove your property from the association. All the other owners have the right to expect that each owner must follow the rules and pay their share in the assessments and maintenance fees. Removing your property from the association would mean that you could not share in any of the benefits of the association, including amenities, roadways, common area parking, trash removal, sewer service, master insurance coverage and so forth. There would be no way to accommodate your property separately from the common elements owned by all owners. As an alternative, you can remove yourself from the association by selling your property to a new owner.


Can a leisure club file a lien against properties not situated in the associations boundaries for unpaid dues?

Of course--if the association likes to pay attorney fees and court costs to the property owners whose land title was slandered by the lien. If the association is not in the deed of the property, then the association has no authority to compel payment of dues. For the same reason, those property owners have no authority to enjoy property and facilities owned by the association. Check with a title company to see if the association is in the deed of the delinquent properties.Another PerspectiveSometimes early property owners adjacent to lake communities will voluntarily join the association and thereby make the facilities appurtenant to their own lots and make their property subject to its rules and regulations. Also, adjacent tract owners may voluntarily make their lots subject to the rules and regulations in order to maintain the community at a high standard and attract buyers. You need to consult with the attorney who represented you when you purchased the property to determine if your property was ever made subject to the rules and regulations of the leisure community. That information would be disclosed by a comprehensive title examination.

If the Home Owners Association for a condominium community hires a roofer to make repairs to the common area and there is damage to a unit owners personal property who is responsible for the damages?

It all depends. Depending on the insurance policy you carry on your personal property, and depending on the insurance carried by the association and the insurance carried by the roofer, there would be some number of possibilities for who ultimately pays. If I were you, I'd document the loss of my personal property and include photos. I'd verify the association's insurance coverage (carrier name, policy # if available) and the roofer's insurance coverage (carrier name, policy # if available). Then I would file a claim with my insurance carrier and pass the other coverage details along with the claim and let my carrier decide who should pay.
