Summary

HOAs may levy assessments per the recorded declaration under VA Code §55.1-1823. Liens attach automatically for unpaid assessments and may be foreclosed non-judicially after 90 days. Late fees capped at the greater of 50 dollars or 5 percent of the unpaid amount per month.

Except to the extent that the declaration or any rules or regulations promulgated pursuant to such declaration provide otherwise, the board may impose a late fee that does not exceed the penalty provided in § 58.1-3915 for any assessment or installment that is not paid within 60 days of the due date for payment of such assessment. [...] A. In addition to all other assessments that are authorized in the declaration, the board of directors shall have the power to levy an additional assessment against its members if (i) the purpose in so doing is found by the board to be in the best interests of the association and (ii) the proceeds of the assessment are used primarily for the maintenance and upkeep of the common area and such other areas of association responsibility, including maintenance, repair, and replacement of capital components. B. The failure of a member to pay the additional assessment allowed by subsection A shall entitle the association to the lien provided by § 55.1-1833 as well as any other rights afforded a creditor under law.

Full Breakdown

Associations must issue a disclosure packet (VA §55.1-1809) on resale showing current assessments, arrears, and reserve status. Packet fee capped by regulation (currently 317 dollars plus delivery). Foreclosure of assessment lien requires 60 days notice and satisfies VA §55.1-1833 procedures. Contact Richmond at (804) 646-5700 for enforcement.
