Showing ordinances that apply to Salisbury Mills, NY
Salisbury Mills is an unincorporated community (population 580) in Orange County, New York. Because Salisbury Mills is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Orange County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The assessment & dues rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Common charges and assessments in Orange County NY are authorized by NY RPL 339-e (condominiums) and the declaration for HOAs. Unpaid charges become liens under RPL 339-z and 339-aa. Condominium HOAs can foreclose on liens for unpaid assessments, and late fees typically range 5-10 percent plus interest. Liens are generally subordinate to first mortgages.
For condominiums, NY RPL 339-e authorizes the board to fix common charges based on each unit's percentage interest, and RPL 339-z makes unpaid charges plus interest, late fees, attorney fees, and collection costs a lien on the unit. RPL 339-aa allows the board to foreclose the lien in the same manner as a mortgage, typically after 60 days delinquent, subject to notice requirements. Lien priority is subordinate to first mortgages recorded before the condominium declaration or before the delinquency in most cases. For non-condo HOAs, lien and collection rights come from the recorded declaration; without a declaration lien provision, the HOA must sue for a money judgment. Late fees are typically 5-10 percent of the overdue amount, plus statutory interest (9 percent under CPLR 5004 for post-judgment) or the rate stated in the declaration. NY Real Estate Finance Bureau at the Attorney General's office accepts complaints about sponsor-controlled condo boards.
Unpaid assessments: late fees 5-10 percent, interest typically 9-18 percent, lien filing, foreclosure after 60 days, personal judgment plus attorney fees under most declarations.
