Your assessments cover your share of the expenses that the association pays to operate and preserve the property that you own. If you enjoy the amenities without paying for them, essentially you're asking your neighbors to pay your bills.
If you don't pay your assessments, you have an unpaid debt. Unpaid debts show up on credit reports.
Read your governing documents to determine the board's responsibility to collect this debt.
Usually, the board can file a lien on your title, and may even be able to sell your unit in order to satisfy the debt that you owe.
