A homeowners association can legally put a lien on a home when the owners haven't paid assessments that they owe. The association can put a lien on a home once the rules or fines have been disregarded. A lien is also dependent on the state law.

A homeowners association can put a lien on a home if the owner of that home has failed to pay homeowners association dues associated with that neighborhood. The lien will consist of any and all unpaid dues, and this means the association will first get paid before the homeowner in the event that homeowner sells his home.

In several states, including Texas, they can put a lien on a home for unpaid Home Owner's Association dues. In a few states, they can also put a lien out for unpaid fines.

Putting a lien on a home is a complex process and varies depending on several factors such as location and age of the building. It is always advisable to seek professional legal advice because if mistakes are made it can prove very costly for everyone involved. It is a process to be exercised with caution.

When homeowner association dues or fines are not paid the homeowners association can put a lien on your home. This means that in the event you sell your home, the homeowner association will receive payment that is due to them before you get your money for the house. Contact a lawyer to find out the laws where you live.

You have to check your home owners documents to be sure but I believe that they can put a lien on your home if you do not pay fines.
