Idaho Code § 55-3206 bars any HOA fine unless the authority to fine is 'clearly set forth in the covenants and restrictions.' The board must vote by majority and give at least 30 days' written notice before the vote. There is no statutory dollar cap on the fine itself.
Under Idaho Code § 55-3206, 'No fine may be imposed for a violation of the covenants and restrictions... unless the authority to impose a fine is clearly set forth in the covenants and restrictions.' Before fining, the board must obtain a majority vote and deliver written notice at least 30 days before the vote, by personal service or certified mail. Critically, if the member 'begins resolving the violation prior to a meeting... no fine may be imposed as long as the member continues to address the violation in good faith until fully resolved.' Attorney's fees may not accrue until the HOA has complied with the section and the member has failed to cure. The statute sets no maximum dollar amount.
Fine only after 30-day written notice and majority board vote; no fine if member is curing in good faith; attorney's fees only after statutory compliance and failure to cure.
