Keller HOAs may levy regular and special assessments under CCRs and Texas Property Code 209. Past-due assessments become statutory liens on the property with foreclosure rights limited by Chapter 209 subchapter D.
HOA assessments in Keller subdivisions are governed by the subdivision CCRs and Texas Property Code Chapter 209 (Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act). Regular annual or monthly assessments cover common-area maintenance, insurance, amenities like pools and playgrounds, and reserves. Special assessments may be levied for unexpected expenses or capital improvements when authorized in the CCRs, sometimes requiring a member vote depending on the governing documents. Unpaid assessments accrue interest, late fees, and collection costs as provided in the CCRs. The HOA has a statutory assessment lien against the property per Texas Property Code 209.0091. Before foreclosing on the lien for non-payment, Texas Property Code 209.0091 through 209.011 require the HOA to send a written notice of the default and a 60-day opportunity to cure, must offer a reasonable payment plan under 209.0062, and for most liens must obtain an expedited court order under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 736. Non-judicial foreclosure is not allowed for pure assessment liens unless specific conditions are met. Owners may request payment history under 209.008.
Delinquent assessments accrue fees and interest plus possible lien foreclosure. HOAs that violate Chapter 209 procedural protections risk dismissal of foreclosure actions and attorney fee awards to owners.
