Delinquent Homeowner Dues
I was recently elected as the Board Secretary/Treasurer for our Condominium Association and inherited the issue of HOA Dues delinquency.
We have an owner who is always late on his HOA dues. He owes about 5 months worth of HOA dues.
Besides filing a lien against his property, what is the best way to:
- Secure the past Dues for 2006
- Get him to pay the outstanding Dues for 2005
- Get him to stay current on his HOA dues.
Furthermore, How do I file a lien? I've already typed up a pre-lien document which we will be sending him (certified mail). My understanding is to file the actual lien 30 days after I send the pre-lien.
The Board was very lenient in the past so I think this owner took advantage of that.
