How do I fight an HOA violation?
Review your CC&Rs, document everything with photos, send a formal dispute via certified mail citing your state laws, and request a hearing. Our AI audit tool can analyze your specific notice instantly.
Can an HOA fine you without notice?
No. Every state requires written notice before fines. Florida requires 14 days (§720.305), Texas 30 days (§209.006), California 14-30 days (§5910). Fines without proper notice may be invalid.
What are HOA fine limits by state?
Fine limits vary by state. Florida caps at $100-$200/day, California at $100-$300/month, Virginia at $50/day. See our complete state comparison chart.
What is selective enforcement?
When an HOA enforces rules against you but not neighbors with the same violation. It is an affirmative defense in most states and can invalidate your violation entirely.
Can my HOA put a lien on my house?
Yes. HOAs can file liens for unpaid fines in most states, which can affect your credit and even lead to foreclosure. Responding to notices promptly is critical.
