Greater Forest Glenn Homeowners Association

What Greater Forest Glenn Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is an assessment collection policy for the Greater Forest Glenn Homeowners Association, a standard single-family HOA in Dallas, TX. It governs how the HOA collects regular and special assessments from homeowners, including late fees, interest, payment plans, and lien/foreclosure procedures. It is a partial document—it does not cover general community rules, amenities, or architectural standards.

• Delinquency & late fees: Assessments are due on the first day of the month or as the board designates. If not paid by the late date, the account becomes delinquent and late fees, interest, and collection costs begin accruing. The HOA may charge $30 for returned checks.
• Payment plans: The HOA must offer a payment plan for delinquent accounts with a minimum term of three months and a maximum term determined by the board. The plan may include administrative costs and interest, and the HOA is not required to follow its normal payment application rules if the owner defaults on the plan.
• Collection procedures: The HOA follows a step-by-step process: friendly reminders, a 30-day initial collections letter, a title search, a 45-day notice with hearing option, a final demand letter, and then referral to an attorney or collection agency. The HOA may also notify the mortgage lender and file a lien on the property.
• Lien & foreclosure: If the owner does not pay, the HOA may record a lien against the home. The owner must prepay the cost of preparing and recording a release of lien once the debt is satisfied.
• Payment application order: When a delinquent owner makes a payment, the HOA applies it in a specific order: delinquent assessments, current assessments, attorney fees and costs, other attorney's fees, fines, and any other amounts. Partial payments do not waive the HOA's right to collect the full balance.
• What this document doesn't cover: This policy does not cover general community rules, such as property maintenance, architectural review, parking, pets, or amenities. It only addresses assessment collection.
