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.

Is this legal advice?+

30-day refund?+

Yes, no questions asked.
