Can our HOA increase assessments without a member vote?
Short Answer
Usually yes - a board may raise regular assessments up to 20% a year without a member vote, but the 30-day notice and budget rules still apply.
Relevant California Law
- Civ. Code § 5605(b) - regular assessment increases above 20% require member approval.
- Civ. Code § 5615 - 30 to 60 days' written notice before an increase takes effect.
What This Means for Homeowners
- Check the notice date on the letter you received.
- Compare the increase to last year's approved budget.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Treating a special assessment like a regular one - the 5% limit is separate.
