HOA and condo assessments in Rockland are authorized by the declaration and must be levied in accordance with formulas set in governing documents. Special assessments typically require specific notice and sometimes member vote thresholds. NYS Real Property Law and the Condominium Act govern lien rights for unpaid amounts.
Condominium assessments in Rockland County are governed by NY Real Property Law Article 9-B (Condominium Act), which authorizes boards to levy common charges and file liens under RPL §339-z against units with unpaid sums. HOAs in planned subdivisions (common in Clarkstown, Orangetown, and Ramapo) operate under the declaration of covenants and NY Not-for-Profit Corporation Law. Special assessments require notice under the bylaws — typically 30 days — and major assessments may require a super-majority vote of owners. Unpaid common charges accrue interest (often 9% statutory or as set in bylaws), late fees, and attorneys' fees, and can be enforced via foreclosure action in Rockland Supreme Court (New City). Cooperative assessments in Spring Valley, Nyack, and Suffern follow Business Corporation Law §501 and the proprietary lease.
Unpaid assessments accrue interest, late fees, and attorneys' fees. Condo boards may file a lien under RPL §339-z and foreclose. HOAs may sue for money judgment or foreclose per the declaration. Cooperatives may terminate the proprietary lease and evict per RPAPL Article 7.
