HOAs may levy assessments per declaration. PA Uniform Planned Community Act permits liens for unpaid assessments; 6-month super-priority over first mortgage for assessments.
HOAs in McKeesport operate under the PA Uniform Planned Community Act (68 Pa.C.S. §§5101-5414) if the community was created on or after February 2, 1997, or opted into the UPCA. The UPCA grants HOAs statutory authority to levy regular and special assessments, assess late fees and reasonable interest, and record liens against delinquent owners' units. Under 68 Pa.C.S. §5315, the HOA lien has a 6-month super-priority over a first mortgage for the most recent 6 months of regular assessments — meaning even after a mortgage foreclosure, the HOA can recover 6 months of back dues. Associations must follow notice procedures and may accelerate annual dues. Owners may challenge improperly adopted assessments in the Court of Common Pleas.
Unpaid assessments: lien plus late fees/interest (typically 15-18%/year capped by statute). Continued non-payment: foreclosure of the HOA lien; owner pays association's reasonable attorney fees.
