Common Disputes
What Can You Dispute?
Fine Dispute
Your HOA issued a fine without the required 10-day notice or hearing. Cite N.C.G.S. §47F-3-107.1 to demand immediate cancellation.
Rule Violation
HOA claims you violated a rule — but won't provide the exact CC&R language or is enforcing it selectively. Cite N.C.G.S. §47F-3-107 to challenge inconsistent enforcement.
HOA Ignoring You
North Carolina law generally requires your HOA to respond within 10 business days. If they've gone silent, a formal written follow-up letter helps you document your record before taking next steps.
Maintenance Failure
Your HOA is ignoring a repair to common areas they're legally required to maintain. Force action — and document damages — before escalating to North Carolina Attorney General's Office.
