FAQ
Quick Answers
I didn't pay yet — what happens?+
Disputing in writing before payment is the right move. The letter formally challenges the assessment and creates a record protecting your position if the HOA tries to lien.
What if I already paid?+
You can still demand a refund based on procedural defects. The letter can request reimbursement and document grounds for a small-claims action if needed.
