Texas Property Code 209 governs HOA assessments, late fees, and collection. Grapevine HOAs may place liens and foreclose only after statutory notice and alternative payment plans.
Grapevine HOA assessments (dues) are governed by the subdivision's recorded declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions and by Texas Property Code Chapter 209. Assessments must be used for the purposes stated in the CC&Rs, typically maintenance of common areas, amenities, management, and insurance. Late fees, interest, and attorney fees are permitted if authorized by the governing documents. TX Property Code 209.0062 requires associations to offer an alternative payment schedule of at least three months before accelerating a delinquency. Before foreclosing a lien, the association must follow TX Property Code 209.0092 notice and redemption procedures including 180 days post-foreclosure redemption. Special assessments for capital projects typically require owner vote per the CC&Rs. Members can request an estoppel certificate before selling their home. Disputes may be resolved through mediation.
