HOA/Condo Disputes Exhibit Checklist FAQ

Can the HOA fine me without a hearing?

In most states, no. Florida's Homeowners' Association Act (§ 720.305) and California's Davis-Stirling Act (Civ. Code § 5855) require the board to provide written notice and an opportunity to be heard before imposing fines. Check your state statute and your CC&Rs — if the board skipped a required step, the fine may be invalid.

What is selective enforcement and how do I prove it?

Selective enforcement means the HOA enforces a rule against you but ignores the same violation by other homeowners. To prove it, document comparable violations with photos, addresses, and dates. If three neighbors have the same fence color that got you fined, and none of them received notices, that pattern is your defense.

Can I request HOA records for my dispute?

Yes. Most state statutes give homeowners the right to inspect HOA records including financial statements, meeting minutes, and enforcement records. California requires production within 10 business days (Civ. Code § 5210). If the HOA refuses, that refusal itself can be evidence of bad faith.
