The owner of a property is responsible for paying association assessments. This is made clear in the governing documents signed at the time of purchase.
More Detail
These days, however, unless the association's governing documents are specific, some banks that end up holding title to association property do not pay assessments.
Best practices dictate that any owner, including a bank, that does not keep up with paying assessments be tracked and reminded of the obligation to pay.
When assessments are not paid, and collection efforts fail, the association may be able to file a lien, or essentially foreclose on a property in arrears.

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.

Association assessments are paid by the owner of record. If your name remains on the deed, you owe assessments.In most cases, the homeowner or unit owner is responsible for paying the HOA fees prior to the foreclosure. Once the lender takes legal possession by foreclosure no further fees are added to the amount due but the HOA can pursue payment of the past due amount.
