HOA assessments in Citrus Heights are regulated by California Civil Code §5600-5740 under Davis-Stirling. Boards can increase regular assessments up to 20% annually without member vote; larger increases and special assessments over 5% of budget require a majority member vote.
Davis-Stirling imposes strict rules on HOA assessments. Under Civil Code §5605, a board may impose a regular assessment increase of up to 20% over the prior year and special assessments up to 5% of the current year's budgeted gross expenses without a membership vote. Larger increases require approval by a majority of a quorum of members. Civil Code §5650-5690 governs delinquency, late fees (up to 10% or $10, whichever is greater), interest (up to 12% per year), and lien/foreclosure procedures. Before lien recording, associations must provide required pre-lien notice and offer payment plan options per Civil Code §5665. Foreclosure for delinquent assessments is permitted only for amounts exceeding $1,800 or delinquency over 12 months per Civil Code §5720. Members have a right to a reserve study every 3 years and annual budget disclosure (Civil Code §5550, §5300). Emergency assessments for immediate safety or unforeseen repairs are permitted outside normal limits.
Over-limit assessments without vote: void. Improper lien/foreclosure: legal liability to the association and possible reversal.
