HOA assessments in Wichita are authorized by the recorded declaration and the Kansas Townhouse and Planned Community Act at K.S.A. 58-4601 et seq. Regular and special assessments are a personal obligation of the owner and a continuing lien on the lot, enforceable through foreclosure.
Annual assessments fund common area maintenance, insurance, management, and reserves. Special assessments may be levied for major capital projects subject to limits in the declaration, sometimes requiring member approval above a threshold. Increases in regular assessments above a stated percentage may also require a vote. Unpaid assessments accrue interest, late fees, and collection costs as authorized in the declaration. The association may record a lien against the lot and foreclose under K.S.A. 58-4601 et seq. and the declaration. Kansas law and Uniform Common Interest Owners Bill of Rights principles favor reasonable notice and opportunity to cure before foreclosure. Mortgage lender priority generally remains ahead of HOA liens.
Owners who fail to pay assessments face late fees, interest, suspension of common area privileges where authorized, lien recording, and ultimately judicial foreclosure of the lot. Boards that levy unauthorized special assessments may have those assessments invalidated by a court. Failure to follow proper notice procedures can defeat collection efforts.
