Are there restrictions on how much I can increase my condo association dues?

Yes, there are restrictions on how much a condo association can increase its dues. In California, condo associations must adhere to Civil Code Section 1366.1, which states that associations can only increase their dues by the percentage increase of the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the past 12 months. This means that in order for an association to increase their dues, the CPI must have increased during that period. The CPI is an inflationary measure that tracks how much prices have increased over time. The association must provide 30 days’ written notice to its members of any proposed increase in dues. The notice must include the amount of the proposed increase, the effective date of the increase, a statement that members may submit objections to the increase in writing, and a statement informing members of the procedure for submitting such objections. The members of the association have the right to object to the proposed increase. If objections are made, the association must consider them and make a decision within 90 days of receiving the objections. If the association decides to increase the dues, they must provide written notice to the members at least 20 days prior to the effective date of the increase. Ultimately, it is up to the condo association to decide whether or not to increase the dues, but they must remain in compliance with California Civil Code Section 1366.1 in order to do so.
