Summary: The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act provides for the creation and regulation of common interest developments and for the levying of assessments by homeowners' associations. Under the act, a homeowners' association or an owner of a separate interest in a common interest development may not file a civil action in the superior court relating to enforcement of the act or certain other matters unless the parties have endeavored to submit their dispute to alternative dispute resolution in accordance with specified procedures. This requirement does not apply to a small claims action or an assessment dispute. The act requires an association to distribute a written notice regarding assessments and foreclosure to each member of the association during the 60-day period immediately preceding the beginning of the association's fiscal year, as specified. This bill would provide that, if a dispute exists between the owner of a separate interest and the homeowners' association regarding any disputed charge or sum levied by the association, and the amount in dispute does not exceed the jurisdictional limits of the small claims court, the owner of the separate interest may pay under protest the disputed amount and all other amounts levied , including certain fees, costs, and other specified amounts, and commence an action in small claims court. The bill would make related changes to the notice described above.
