Wisconsin has no statute that sets or caps HOA or condominium fines. Condominium enforcement power flows from the Condominium Ownership Act and the recorded bylaws under Wis. Stat. § 703.10, while non-condo HOA fine authority exists only in the recorded declaration plus the Nonstock Corporation Act, ch. 181.
Neither the Wisconsin Condominium Ownership Act (ch. 703) nor any general HOA law contains a fine schedule or dollar cap. Wis. Stat. § 703.10 requires the bylaws and provides that "every unit owner shall comply strictly with the bylaws and with the rules adopted under the bylaws ... and with the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in the declaration." Failure to comply "is grounds for action to recover sums due, for damages or injunctive relief or both maintainable by the association or, in a proper case, by an aggrieved unit owner." Any fining power therefore comes from the recorded declaration, bylaws, and rules — not a penalty statute. Non-condo HOAs have no fining statute; their authority and any cap exist only in the declaration and ch. 181.
No specific statutory penalty. Fines flow from the recorded declaration, condo bylaws, and rules; § 703.10 lets the association sue to recover sums due or for damages or injunctive relief. Wisconsin sets no statutory dollar cap on HOA or condo fines.
