Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions · Sec. 3.5.4.3 · Page 15
Disciplinary fine provision conflicts with California AB 130 (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 5850(c)-(e) & 5855) by authorizing non-health/safety fines exceeding $100 per violation, imposing interest or late fees on unpaid fines, or denying pre-hearing cure right.
Operative Clause · Sec. 3.5.4.3 (Page 15)
“Limitation on Monetary Fines. Any monetary fine shall not exceed $250.00 for each violation.”
Why It’s Flagged
Cal. Civ. Code §§ 5850(c)-(e) & 5855 (AB 130, enacted June 30, 2025)
Under California Civil Code §§ 5850(c)-(e) and 5855, an association shall not impose a monetary penalty exceeding $100 per violation unless the violation may result in an adverse health or safety impact on the common area or another member’s property and the board makes a written finding specifying that adverse impact in an open meeting.
Furthermore, AB 130 prohibits charging late fees or interest on unpaid monetary penalties and bars imposing a discipline if the member cures the violation before the board hearing (or within a reasonable cure period if curing takes longer than the notice period).
Sample Discussion Wording for HOA Counsel
For Board & Counsel Review
1Pursuant to California Civil Code §§ 5850(c)-(e) and 5855 (AB 130), no monetary penalty for a governing document violation shall exceed One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per violation unless the Board makes a written finding in an open meeting that the violation results in an adverse health or safety impact.
2No late fee or interest shall be charged on any unpaid monetary penalty, and no fine shall be imposed if the member cures the violation prior to the disciplinary hearing (or provides a financial commitment to cure where cure requires more time than the hearing notice period).
