Q.What is a personal reimbursement assessment?

A.A personal reimbursement assessment is an assessment imposed by the homeowners association against a single homeowner.

The most common type of personal reimbursement assessment is one imposed to reimburse the HOA for a cost incurred that should ahve been sole responsibility of a specific homeowner according to the governing documents (Bylaws and CC&Rs). For example, if a homeowner, or the homeowner’s guest or tenant, damages the entrace doorway while carrying a christmas tree, the HOA can levy a personal reimbursement assessment against the responsible homeowner for the cost to repair the doorway.

Another type of personal reimbursement assessment is one imposed as a fine or penalty. Fines and penalties can only be imposed if a schedule of fines has been distributed to all the homeowners in advance.

Check the governing documents, especially the CC&Rs, as they typically require the homeowner be given the opportunity to be heard at a Board hearing before any kind of personal reimbursement assessment is imposed.
