In the latest reminder that fees and dues are not optional if you live in a Florida HOA, the filing states that monthly maintenance dues of $5,009 — as well as other fees — have gone unpaid for roughly two years. The association recorded a claim of lien on August 24 for $76,223.18 in unpaid assessments. A demand letter sent the same day put the total at $85,375.29 with interest and legal fees. Interest accrues at 18 percent a year, and the complaint says the damages now top $100,000 — even after some money was paid.
The suit includes counts for foreclosure and breach of contract, and asks a judge to order the property sold if the debt isn’t paid. The HOA is represented by Sax Sachs Caplan.
