HOA assessments in Riverside County follow Davis-Stirling rules (Civ Code §5600-5740). Regular assessments may increase up to 20% per year without a vote; special assessments above 5% of budgeted expenses require a vote. Delinquent assessments accrue interest and late fees, with lien and foreclosure rights.
Under the Davis-Stirling Act, HOA boards may increase regular assessments up to 20% of the prior year's assessment annually, and impose special assessments of up to 5% of current-year budgeted gross expenses, without a membership vote (Civ Code §5605). Increases beyond those thresholds require approval of a majority of a quorum of members. Boards must distribute an annual budget and reserve disclosure at least 30-90 days before the fiscal year begins (§5300). Assessments become delinquent 15 days after due. Late charges may not exceed 10% of the delinquent amount or $10, whichever is greater (§5650). Interest may accrue at up to 12% annually. For delinquencies exceeding $1,800 or 12 months, the HOA may record an assessment lien after written notice and internal dispute resolution offer (§5660-5670). Nonjudicial foreclosure requires board approval by recorded vote in executive session (§5705). Assessments for items not reasonably related to common-area maintenance are subject to challenge.
