Summary

The owners' association is empowered to levy assessments against the owners of lots or units within the development. Such assessments shall be for the payment of expenditures made by the owners' association for the items set forth in this section, and any assessments not paid by the owner against whom such assessments are made shall constitute a lien on the lot of the owner.F.Easements Easements over the common elements (common areas) for access, ingress, and egress from and to public streets and walkways, and easements for enjoyment of the common elements and for parking shall be granted to each lot or unit owner.G.Maintenance and Restoration Provisions for maintenance and restoration in the event of destruction or damage shall be established for common elements and party walls.

Full Breakdown
Section 7.3.2 of the Development Ordinance gives an owners' association the power to bill assessments against lot and unit owners for insurance, common-element maintenance, and stormwater-facility upkeep, and an unpaid assessment becomes a lien on that lot. Separately, if the association itself defaults on assessments or ad valorem taxes owed to the City or another taxing jurisdiction for six straight months, each lot owner becomes personally on the hook for a pro-rata share of the debt, split evenly across every lot in the development, and unpaid shares become a continuing lien enforceable by foreclosure.
Violations & Fines
Nonpayment creates an automatic lien on the delinquent lot; if the owner doesn't pay within 30 days of notice, the jurisdiction can foreclose the lien or sue the owner directly.
