You painted your tile roof with latex paint?
That's what he said :-)
Well technically he said that his house has a tile roof and he painted
something with latex paint, but we don't need to get too picky I
guess.... lol
According to a "board member". Somebody in our HOA painted some
portion of their house RED. The owner ignored letters to correct the
CC&R violations. Eventually, there was a lien placed on the property.
The HOA will collect if and when the owner sells the property.
I was in an HOA where one owner moved out and stopped paying the monthly
fees. The HOA put a lien on the house. They followed up with the usual
letters and the threats to forclose the lien. Eventually they did foreclose
the lien and the house ended up in a foreclosure sale. Somebdy bought it for
enough to satisfy the mortgage, taxes and what was owed to the HOA. It was
the first time I got to go to a foreclosure sale. No, I wasn't a bidder. I
lived next door to the property involved.
This was in Florida. As you can see there was no need to wait for the owner
to live up to his responsibilities or sell the property.
In my HOA, the lien cannot be transferred to a new buyer by law. The
owner can't escape the money owed and has to clear the lien. Our HOA
can in fact make the corrections to an owner property and then add the
cost to fines, etc, etc.
In Md. I think the lien has to be renewed periodically. Every two
years? Without hiring my own lawyer, I haven't found out how we can
foreclose on the lien. I assumed we could, but
afaik, we never have.
From another post,
I mean an HOA
cannot take the home due to fines, liens, etc. If they can pile up
interest, why would they? (gotta check this again)
Oren, the other members of the board would much rather have the money
than the money and som interest years from now. I don't get all upset
when someone owes money, but even I would rather have the money now.
When we want to earn money, we buy a CD or something. A lot of
people like their, and their HOA's, books to look clean, All the
bills paid and everyone who owes us money having paid it. AND, they
really resent that, in their view, some people don't think they have
to pay the bills that all the other people pay.
I, myself, don't think that is the reason they haven't paid**. I do
think some are very short-sighted and materialist, and if they would
stop paying 40 dollars a month for a cell phone, or 40 dollars a month
for cable, they could pay the 39 dollars a month HOA bill. But I'll
bet at least half don't have cable or a cell phone anymore. But
regardless, I figure as long as we get our money some day, plus
interest, that's good enough for me.
**I got a traffic ticket once for driving through a gas station to
bypass the light at the corner, when I was planning on turning right
at the corner. At my hearing, the judge complained that I thought the
laws didn't apply to me. But that wasn't it. The light and the
narrow road leading up to it created a real bottleneck that made
people wait through two or more lights to get the through the
intersection. I thought I was doing everyone** a favor by going
around it. And I would have advised everyone else in the same
situation to do the same thing. **Everyone behind me then and for
the rest of rush hour. I had made the line one car shorter for all
those people.
