Pennsylvania's Uniform Planned Community Act, 68 Pa.C.S. § 5302(a)(11), lets an association "levy reasonable fines" for violations of the declaration, bylaws, and rules, but only after notice and an opportunity to be heard. The Act sets no dollar cap; fines must simply be reasonable, and unpaid fines are enforceable like assessments.
Section 5302(a)(11) empowers the association, "after notice and an opportunity to be heard, [to] levy reasonable fines for violations of the declaration, bylaws and rules and regulations of the association." It may also suspend an owner's voting rights, board eligibility, and access to common elements during periods when assessments are delinquent or violations remain uncured. The statute does not impose a maximum fine amount; the only express limits are that the fine be "reasonable" and preceded by due process. Under § 5315, unpaid fines are part of the association's lien and are "enforceable as assessments," so a fine that goes unpaid can be collected through the same lien and foreclosure machinery, along with reasonable attorney fees.
Reasonable fines after notice and a hearing; no statutory dollar cap. The association may also suspend voting rights, board eligibility, and common-element access while a violation stays uncured. Unpaid fines become part of the assessment lien enforceable under § 5315.
