Maine HOA & Condo Fine Authority

Section 1603-102(a)(11) authorizes a condominium association to "[i]mpose charges for late payment of assessments and, after notice and an opportunity to be heard, levy reasonable fines for violations of the declaration, bylaws and rules and regulations of the association." The statute caps fines only by the word "reasonable" — there is no fixed dollar limit — and conditions them on advance notice plus a hearing. Under § 1603-116, unpaid fines become enforceable as part of the assessment lien. Maine has no general non-condo HOA fining statute, so a planned-community HOA's fine power and any procedures come from its recorded declaration and Title 13-B nonprofit governance.

Condo fines must be "reasonable" and preceded by notice and an opportunity to be heard; unpaid fines roll into the foreclosable assessment lien (§ 1603-116). No fixed statutory dollar cap exists.
