Can an HOA Foreclose on a Homeowner?

Yes. If a homeowners’ association has a lien on a property, then it has the legal right to foreclose on that property. HOA assessments are the lifeblood of the associations. Under Illinois law, an HOA has a legal obligation to collect assessments. The failure to do so could actually result in an HOA facing legal action from its other, non-delinquent members.

Escalating Your Collection Practices

When an individual unit owner fails to pay an assessment, the HOA has several different collection remedies available. The most straightforward remedy is to send a simple reminder to the unit owner. Of course, unfortunately, this does not work in every case. Should an HOA member become seriously delinquent on their financial duties—whether they not paying their monthly fees or they failed to pay a special assessment—the HOA can place a lien on their property.

Once there is an HOA lien on a property, the association has the right to foreclose on the property. This is not to say that the foreclosure process is simple. There are a number of different complex rules and procedures that must be followed. If your association is considering taking legal action, an experienced foreclosure attorney in Chicago can help.

How Can a Lawyer Help with an HOA Foreclosure?

HOA foreclosures and HOA evictions are both subject to strict notification requirements. If your association is considering using this heightened remedy to recover an unpaid assessment, you need an attorney who knows how to protect the financial interests of your association. At Keough & Moody, P.C., we have deep experience helping HOAs and condo associations recover past due assessments. Among other things, our HOA foreclosure lawyers are prepared to:

  • Conduct a comprehensive assessment of your case;
  • Answer questions, advise you of your rights, and explain your legal options;
  • Look for cost effective solutions, potentially including recovering delinquent assessments throughout a settlement; and
  • Represent your interests in a foreclosure proceeding, including pursuing post-judgment amounts whenever warranted.

We believe that community associations need personalized guidance and one-on-one representation from an experienced HOA/condo foreclosure lawyer. If you are looking for “a foreclosure attorney near me”, our law firm is here to help.
