Mississippi has no statute governing HOA fines. Neither the Condominium Law (Miss. Code § 89-9) nor the Nonprofit Corporation Act (§ 79-11) sets a fine cap, notice rule, or hearing requirement. An association's power to fine - and any limits on it - comes entirely from the recorded declaration and bylaws.
No Mississippi statute authorizes or limits homeowners-association fines. Because the state has no comprehensive HOA act, fining authority rests on contract: the recorded declaration, covenants, and bylaws that bind owners as a matter of property and contract law. The Nonprofit Corporation Act (Miss. Code § 79-11) governs how an incorporated association operates as an entity, but it does not address violation fines, dollar caps, notice, or hearings. The Condominium Law (§ 89-9) likewise sets no fine schedule. As a result, whether an HOA may fine, how much, and what process it must follow depend on what the governing documents say. Courts enforce reasonable covenant-based penalties under ordinary contract principles, and a fine may become an enforceable charge only where the declaration provides.
No specific statutory penalty. An HOA's fining power is limited only by its recorded declaration and general reasonableness; an owner disputing a fine challenges it under the governing documents and contract law, not a state HOA statute.
