Fontana HOAs follow Davis-Stirling assessment rules (Civil Code 5600+) limiting annual regular assessment increases to 20 percent and special assessments to 5 percent without member vote.
California Civil Code sections 5600 through 5740 govern assessment collection and limits for HOAs. Regular annual assessment increases over 20 percent and special assessments exceeding 5 percent of budgeted gross expenses require approval by a majority of members constituting a quorum of more than 50 percent (Civil Code 5605). Assessments must be tied to a written budget, annual policy statement, and reserve study that complies with Civil Code 5550. Members must receive annual budget disclosures at least 30 to 90 days before the fiscal year begins. Late fees on delinquent assessments are capped (typically 10 percent or 10 dollars, whichever is greater), and interest is limited to 12 percent per year under Civil Code 5650. HOAs must follow strict statutory procedures before recording a lien or pursuing foreclosure, including pre-lien notice, payment plan offers, and dispute resolution rights under Civil Code 5660 through 5710.
