Q: If my HOA's CCRs states that they will provide exterior maintenance, can they pass the bill to me?
The CCR's state:
“The association shall provide exterior maintenance for each residence and carport on a lot in the project. Such exterior maintenance shall include the painting, repair, replacement and care of exterior building surfaces, roof surfaces, gutters, and downspouts. Such exterior maintenance shall not include maintenance, replacement, or care of any glass surfaces of a residence, or carport, any skylights of a residence, any utility wires, pipes, or other such conduits which may be located on the exterior of the residence or carport. The board shall have the absolute discretion to determine whether the painting, repair or other maintenance of a residence or carport is necessary.”
A: Technically yes. The HOA money comes from each homeowner and when the regular monthly assessment doesn’t cover a particular cost the. The HOA can impose a special assessment (if enough people vote for it).
