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.
