Since the time of origination of the association, there may have been amendments or resolutions that deal specifically with assessments. If you do not have copies of the latest documents, your board or property manager can supply you with copies, at your cost.

Yes, homeowners associations (HOAs) can include penalties in unpaid dues liens. These penalties typically include late fees or interest charges that accrue on unpaid dues over time. However, the specific penalties and their amounts are determined by the HOA's governing documents, such as the bylaws or covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs).
