Connecticut law lets an association levy reasonable fines for rule violations and charge interest or late fees on overdue assessments, but only after giving the unit owner notice and an opportunity to be heard. CIOA does not set a fixed dollar cap; fines must be reasonable.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-244(a)(11) authorizes the association to “impose charges or interest or both for late payment of assessments and … levy reasonable fines for violations,” but only “after notice and an opportunity to be heard.” The statute requires the fine to be reasonable rather than imposing a specific dollar limit. Rules supporting fines must be adopted under § 47-261b, which requires rules to be reasonable. Under § 47-244(h), the board may decline to enforce where a violation is immaterial or enforcement would be inconsistent with law, so long as the decision is not arbitrary or capricious. The association generally may not withhold essential services or deny access to a unit as a sanction (§ 47-244(a)(19)).
Reasonable fines may be levied per violation after notice and a hearing; late assessments may also incur interest and late charges. No fixed statutory dollar cap, but fines must be reasonable.
