Richardson, TX HOA Rules: Assessment & Dues (2026)

Richardson HOAs may levy regular and special assessments as authorized by the recorded declaration. Texas Property Code 209.0063 requires payments to be applied in a specific order: delinquent assessments first, then current assessments, then attorney fees, and finally fines. Associations must send a written notice of delinquency giving at least 30 days to cure before late fees or collection costs accrue. Under 209.0062, any member has the right to request a payment plan of at least three months with no further fees or interest, provided they have not defaulted on a plan in the prior two years. Non-judicial foreclosure of the HOA assessment lien requires both court approval (209.0092) and proper notice. Special assessments generally require a vote of the membership under the terms of the declaration. Richardson does not impose additional local assessment procedures.
