Newark HOA/condo assessments are governed by NJ law (N.J.S.A. 46:8B-1 et seq.). Boards may levy regular and special assessments per bylaws. Associations hold lien rights for unpaid assessments that may take priority over mortgages.
Condominium and homeowner associations in Newark levy regular monthly assessments to cover common expenses including maintenance, insurance, and reserves. Assessment amounts are set by the board based on the annual budget adopted at the membership meeting. Special assessments for unexpected expenses or capital improvements require approval as specified in the bylaws -- typically a board vote, though some bylaws require owner approval above a threshold. Under NJ law (N.J.S.A. 46:8B-21), an association has a lien on each unit for unpaid assessments, and this lien may have priority over all other liens except tax liens and certain first mortgages. The association may foreclose on an assessment lien. NJ law requires associations to maintain adequate reserve funds. Owners must receive the annual budget and financial statements. Late fees and interest on overdue assessments must be authorized by the governing documents.
