Question:
I owe dues to my homeowner’s association. My understanding is that the dues are applied as a lien against my property. As such, I cannot sell the property without first satisfying the amount of the lien, along with any penalties. I understand and accept this.
Is the homeowner’s association able to collect on the lien prior to sale of the property? If so, would a judgement in a court of law be required first to compel me to pay? Or, are they allowed to foreclose on my property because of this?
Thank you in advance.

Answer:
Hi Rob,
An HOA may refer your account to a collection agency or a lawyer. Additionally, HOAs in Michigan can generally foreclose on your property after placing a lien on it.
