An HOA/COA lien is a legal claim against a property in an association for unpaid dues or assessments. In Florida, these liens are crucial for associations to enforce payment obligations.
Step-by-Step Guide to Filing an HOA/COA Lien in Florida
- Determine Eligibility: Ensure that the unpaid dues or assessments are valid and the property owner is within the association’s jurisdiction.
- Send Pre-Lien Notice: Florida law may require sending a pre-lien notice to the property owner, informing them of the overdue payments and the intent to file a lien.
- Prepare the Lien Document: The lien document should include the amount owed, a description of the property, and the legal basis for the claim.
File the Lien: File the lien document with the county recorder’s office in the county where the property is located. Timelines for filing can vary based on the association’s governing documents and Florida law. - Enforce the Lien: If the dues remain unpaid, the association may enforce the lien through legal proceedings, which can include foreclosure.
