Anaheim HOAs collect regular and special assessments under Davis-Stirling. Regular dues increases over 20 percent per year and special assessments over 5 percent of budget need member vote.
Anaheim association members pay regular monthly assessments for operations, reserves, and master insurance, plus occasional special assessments for capital projects. Civil Code 5605 allows the board to raise regular assessments up to 20 percent per year and levy special assessments up to 5 percent of the annual budget without a member vote, provided the pro forma budget was distributed on time. Anything above those limits requires member approval at a meeting with quorum. Associations must mail an annual budget report and annual policy statement before the fiscal year. Delinquent assessments accrue late fees, interest at up to 12 percent per year, and collection costs. After the statutory notice process associations may record a lien and eventually foreclose under Civil Code 5700 and following, though foreclosure requires a delinquency of 12 months or 1,800 dollars for regular assessments. Members can dispute charges through internal dispute resolution or alternative dispute resolution.
