Moreno Valley HOAs may raise regular assessments up to 20 percent yearly and levy special assessments up to 5 percent without member vote under Civil Code 5605. Delinquency triggers fees and lien.
Under the Davis-Stirling Act, an HOA board may increase the regular (monthly or annual) assessment up to 20 percent over the prior year without a vote of the members, provided proper notice is given. Increases over 20 percent, or emergency/special assessments exceeding 5 percent of the budgeted gross expenses, require approval by a majority of a quorum of members (Civil Code 5605). Assessments become delinquent 15 days after the due date and are subject to late fees (up to the greater of $10 or 10 percent of the assessment), 12 percent annual interest, and collection costs. Before recording a lien for unpaid assessments, the HOA must send a pre-lien letter 30 days in advance per Civil Code 5660 listing the amount due, a meet-and-confer offer, and payment plan information. Civil Code 5650 and 5665 govern the lien and foreclosure process — HOAs cannot foreclose non-judicially for amounts under $1,800 or less than 12 months delinquent unless unusual circumstances apply. Payment plan requests must be considered in good faith.
