What Can You Do About HOA Fees?
In most cases, you cannot get out of paying your monthly or annual HOA fees. However, you can probably avoid other fines and fees, and there may be options for temporary hardships. You can also become an active member of the homeowners association.
- Read your HOA bylaws. Understand your rights and responsibilities. This can help you avoid HOA fines or fees, know when or why the fees might change, and determine who you reach out to for concerns.
- Speak to the HOA if you are experiencing a hardship. You may be able to negotiate a later payment date or arrange a payment plan. If you have a good record with the HOA, it may be easier for them to just add a late fee than to pursue action against you.
- Join the HOA board. You may not be able to get an executive role. But if you can get on a committee, you can have more influence on how funds are used and when or if fees are raised.
- Make your concerns known. Even if you aren't on the board, you can speak up about issues and fees. Check your HOA bylaws to learn which committee or member to contact regarding various issues or how to file a complaint.
