Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO PROPERTY; PROHIBITING A HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION FROM ASSESSING A FEE ON THE SALE OF A LOT OR REAL PROPERTY BY A LOT OWNER IN THE ASSOCIATION'S DEVELOPMENT.

AI Summary

This bill adds a new section to the Homeowner Association Act in New Mexico that prohibits homeowners associations (HOAs) from charging fees when a property owner sells their lot or real property within the association's development. Specifically, the bill prevents HOAs from imposing what are sometimes called "transfer fees" or "resale fees" that property owners would typically have to pay at the time of selling their home or lot. By explicitly stating that an association "shall not assess a fee on the sale of a lot or real property," the legislation aims to reduce additional financial burdens on homeowners during the property sale process. This change would apply to all homeowners associations in New Mexico and represents a consumer-friendly measure designed to make property transactions more straightforward and less expensive for lot owners.
