Can I be charged for a special assessment if the condo complex needs repairs?

Yes, condo owners in Kansas can be charged for a special assessment if the condo complex needs repairs. According to the Kansas Condominium Act, a special assessment is an amount charged to individual condo owners in order to pay for essential repairs or renovations to the property. These assessments typically cover inspections, maintenance, and repairs needed in order to keep the property in good condition. The amount assessed to each owner typically depends on the size of his or her unit. Special assessments are typically approved by the condo association or board of directors. The special assessment must also be approved by the majority of the condo members in order to be implemented. If the majority of the members do not approve of the assessment, the board of directors can still impose it, but with certain limitations. In some cases, the condo association may also be able to take out a loan from the bank to pay for the repairs. The money for the loan would then be paid back by the members of the association through monthly payments or a lump sum. In all cases, special assessments cannot exceed the value of the assessment itself. If the assessment is too large, it will need to be divided among the members in smaller amounts. This is to ensure that members are not able to be charged an unfair amount for the repairs.
