Bill > HB3908

This bill modifies the Texas Property Code to establish new time-based restrictions on how property owners' associations (HOAs) can issue notices and assess fines for violations of their restrictions, bylaws, or rules. Specifically, the bill requires HOAs to provide notice of a violation within 180 days of when the violation occurs, and if they fail to do so, they cannot assess a fine for that violation. Additionally, for subsequent violations, the HOA must levy any fine either before the 180th day after the initial violation or within 30 days of giving notice, whichever is later. These new provisions will only apply to enforcement actions and fines initiated on or after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025. The bill aims to provide homeowners with more protection against delayed or retroactive enforcement by HOAs by establishing clear timelines for addressing potential rule violations.
