Q.What can a homeowner do if s/he disagrees with the amount of an assessment?
A.Under most circumstances, if a homeowner disagrees with the amount of an assessment, s/he can pay it under protest and then challenge the assessment through a court action or arbitration.
The requirements for challenging an assessment are described in California Civil Code § 1366.3.
However if a homeowner fails to pay the assessment, or fails to follow the procedures outlined in the Civil Code, s/he may lose the right to challenge the assessment and thereafter be subject to collection and/or foreclosure proceedings.
