Complaint Against HOA for Fee Increase

Hi Faith,

You first need to review the governing documents of your HOA, such as the declaration, bylaws, and any relevant rules regarding fee increases. These documents should outline the procedure for raising fees, including the required notice period and whether a vote by homeowners is necessary. Keep in mind that raising dues may be necessary for the HOA board to adequately meet the HOA’s needs.

If you believe the increase was not properly approved or lacks transparency, you can begin by addressing your concerns directly with the HOA board. Request a written explanation of the fee increase, including any supporting documentation justifying the increase.
