AI Summary
This bill establishes new rules for homeowners associations (HOAs) and condominium associations regarding property that has been deeded to a county through tax foreclosure. The legislation defines when and how assessments (fees) can accrue on such properties and creates a mechanism for liens related to these assessments. Specifically, the bill limits the assessment period for properties deeded to a county, preventing associations from continuously charging fees on foreclosed properties. Assessments will begin when the property is deeded to the county and will end when the county transfers the property, enters a lease agreement, or decides to permanently retain the property. The bill also restricts associations from including certain costs in their liens, such as fines or attorney fees resulting from the association's own legal violations. The liability for these assessments will fall either on the new property owner when the property is transferred or on the county if it retains or leases the property. Associations are allowed to record liens for these assessments and must provide notice to the county according to their established dues schedule. The bill takes effect 91 days after the 2025 legislative session adjourns and applies to properties deeded to counties on or after its effective date.
