Belmont is an unincorporated community (population 27,295) in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Because Belmont is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code.

Master deeds, bylaws, and recorded rules are enforced by trustees under MGL c.183A. Remedies include fines, liens, injunctions, and cost recovery.
Middlesex County condominium trustees enforce the master deed, bylaws, and rules under MGL c.183A. Typical enforcement tools include written notice, hearing rights under the bylaws, monetary fines where authorized, suspension of amenity privileges, and legal action for injunctive relief. Fines and legal costs may be added to the unit account and, under MGL c.183A s.6, collected as common expense assessments with lien priority. Selective or inconsistent enforcement risks waiver defenses, so boards should apply rules uniformly and document violations. For non-condo HOAs, remedies depend on recorded covenants and Massachusetts nonprofit corporate law (MGL c.180).
