Relating to partial payment by an owner of an amount owed to a property owners' association.
HB 2828 prevents property owners' associations (POAs) from being forced to accept partial payments from homeowners who owe dues, unless the homeowner and POA have a written agreement or formal payment plan in place. The bill directly affects homeowners who fall behind on association fees and the POAs themselves, clarifying that associations may refuse partial payments without prior written consent. Key provisions require any acceptance of partial payments to be explicitly agreed upon in writing, eliminating ambiguity about when POAs must accept such payments. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not change existing requirements for full payment of dues.
