Assessment lien
An assessment lien is a legal claim against an owner’s unit for unpaid assessments, if your documents and recording rules allow it. Liens can affect resale and may lead to foreclosure in extreme cases under state law. Boards should follow attorney guidance and required notices before recording a lien.
