Association fees -- called assessments in some areas, are established every year -- generally, based on last year's expenses and anticipated expenses for the coming year. Once the budget is finalized, owners receive details about the new assessment amount, which owners are required to pay, usually on a monthly basis.
Assessments cover the expenses of operating the community, and may pay for landscape work, utilities, garbage pick-up, master insurance policy premiums, preventative maintenance, contributions to reserves, and more.
You can ask for a copy of the budget if you are an owner, and your treasurer can explain each line item for you.

Until you prove the tow was in error the impound fees are your responsibility. If you leave your truck in impound the fees will increase at a rapid rate. You must redeem the truck from impound as soon as possible to avoid a huge bill. You can then resolve the issue with the HOA and ask for reasonable fees IF it is determined that a mistake was made. However, even if the HOA is determined to be at fault, you would be under the obligation to mitigate your damages by retrieving your truck as soon as possible. You can't just leave it in impound until you resolve your dispute with the HOA.

How are HOA fees calculated?
HOA fees are based on a variety of things. The management association bidding to run an HOA determines the hard costs of things like utilities, landscaping, pool maintenance, administrative costs like attorney fees, billing and postage plus any other required overhead. They then add on their profit margin for servicing the account. The profit figure will be whatever the local market will bear and there is a huge variation between regions. In some areas the fees have become so onerous that the actual homeowners are taking over their associations and managing it themselves. This works well in small subdivisions.
