Check your condo declarations. Often the association is given priority
position on resale for unpaid assessments in those documents. In that case a
lien would not be necessary.

Has any HOA in California been faced with non-payment of HOA dues for 6
months or more, and what steps have you taken? We have one household who got
caught in the subprime mortgage mess and while they ARE working to modify
their mortgage, they have not paid their HOA dues for 6 months now.
As the treasurer I feel I should probably take some steps to protect the
HOA, such as putting a lien on the property, but I am unclear as to whether
the lien can just sit there guaranteeing that the HOA would be paid in case
the property is sold or foreclosed, but otherwise not forcing any action.
That would be what we would prefer at this point.  I'm not even sure who to
ask this question of, so I'm starting here.

Thanks,
Joe Treasurer
