Dispute Resolution and EnforcementDisciplinary Action
Section § 6850
This law section states that if a homeowners' association (HOA) sets a policy to penalize members financially for breaking the rules, they must clearly list these penalties in a document given to all members. Any new or updated penalties also need to be communicated to members individually. Importantly, no fine should be higher than what's listed in the current penalty schedule. Members can request the most up-to-date list of these penalties at any time.
Section § 6854
This section clarifies that the rules about imposing fines or penalties in one part of the law don't change the board's existing authority to fine a member for breaking the community's rules. It neither adds to nor takes away from that authority.
