Yes. If the association has exhausted all other means in its power to collect the debt that you owe, unsuccessfully, then the association can sell the property.

Certain statutory requirements must be met. See related link.

Perhaps, yes.

Read your governing documents to determine your responsibility to pay your assessments -- when you don't, you ask your neighbors to pay your bills; and to determine the lengths to which the association is required to pursue you and your assets for your unpaid debt.

The association's responsibilities may include selling your residence for non-payment of your assessments, which are collected and spent to operate the entire community and preserve the communally-owned, real estate assets.

As well, at this point, you are well advised to consult with an association-savvy attorney who can help you understand your governing documents, and further, whatever protection you may enjoy under state law to guard your rights to remain in your primary residence.

Can a home owners association invoice you for dues that were due 5 months before closing on the home?

They should have collected this from the seller at closing. Usually the title company will contact the HOA to find out how much is due. The year's dues should be prorated according to what portion of the year that the seller owned the home and what portion that the buyer owned it. It is possible that the buyer gets a credit for partial HOA dues on the closing statement, then must pay a full year's dues to the HOA. Or the title company may pay dues directly to the HOA out of funds from closing. Check with the title company to find out what exactly happened at closing.
