ASSOCIATION CHARGES (§ 55.1-1805)

Except as expressly authorized in this chapter, in the declaration, or otherwise
provided by law, no association shall impose a charge against one or more but
less than all lot owners unless the charge is (i) a fee for services provided,
(ii) related to use of the common area, or (iii) a fee expressly authorized in
§ 55.1-2316. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent an
association from levying or using assessments, charges, or fees to pay the
association&#8217;s contractual or other legal obligations in the exercise of
the association&#8217;s duties and responsibilities. The Common Interest
Community Board may assess a monetary penalty for a violation of this section
against any (a) association pursuant to § 54.1-2351 or (b) common interest
community manager pursuant to § 54.1-2349, and may issue a cease and desist
order pursuant to § 54.1-2352.
