Virginia Beach, VA HOA Rules: Assessment & Dues (2026)

Under the Virginia Property Owners' Association Act, the association's declaration authorizes regular assessments for common expenses and special assessments for non-budgeted capital items. Section 55.1-1805 allows the board to levy assessments consistent with the declaration, and assessments automatically create a lien against the lot from the due date. Late fees, interest up to 12% per year (unless declaration specifies otherwise), and reasonable attorney's fees may be added. Foreclosure of an HOA lien is permitted under §55.1-1833 but requires judicial or non-judicial process with specific notice. When an owner sells, a resale disclosure packet must be furnished within 14 days of request under §55.1-1809 and §55.1-1810, with statutory fee caps (currently around $474 plus inspection fee). The packet must disclose assessments, violations, capital reserves, insurance, and pending litigation. Buyers have a 3-day right to cancel after receipt under §55.1-1812. Failure to deliver a timely packet can waive the association's right to collect past-due amounts from the buyer. Condo associations follow parallel rules under Virginia Condominium Act §55.1-1990. Virginia Beach Circuit Court hears HOA lien foreclosure actions.
