Fine Schedule Template
Customizable fine schedule for common HOA violations with escalation tiers.
About This Template
A published fine schedule provides transparency, ensures consistent enforcement, and gives homeowners clear expectations about consequences. This template provides a framework for common violations organized by severity with escalating fine amounts.
The schedule categorizes violations into minor, moderate, and major tiers, each with first, second, and third offense fine amounts. It also addresses continuing violations and the accumulation process.
Boards should adopt fine schedules through proper resolution and distribute them to all homeowners. Having predetermined fines removes emotion from enforcement decisions and demonstrates the association treats all homeowners equally.
