HOA assessments in Mountain View are governed by Davis-Stirling, capping regular increases at 20 percent per year and special assessments at 5 percent of the budget without member approval.
Under California Civil Code 5605, Mountain View HOAs cannot increase regular assessments more than 20 percent over the prior fiscal year or levy special assessments exceeding 5 percent of the gross expenses of the association for that year without a majority vote of a quorum of members. Boards must distribute annual budget disclosures 30 to 90 days before the fiscal year start under Civil Code 5300. Delinquent assessments accrue interest and late fees and can lead to liens and, in limited cases, foreclosure under strict Civil Code 5600-5740 procedures. Owners must receive pre-lien notice, have the right to a meet-and-confer or dispute resolution, and be offered a payment plan before severe collection.
