Can a condo association impose fines for violations of the condo rules?

Yes, a condo association in Texas can impose fines for violations of the condo rules. The Texas Property Code authorizes associations to impose fines for violations of the bylaws and rules of the association. The association can impose fines for any violation that is not in compliance with the rules if the violation is not remedied or if it continues after being remedied. The code also outlines procedures for imposing fines, such as the requirement of written notice of the violation and the amount of the fine. In addition, the fine must be reasonable, and owners must be given a certain amount of time to cure the violation before the fine is imposed. Fines can be appealed in court, and the court can reduce the amount of the fine if it is deemed excessive. It is important to note that associations are not allowed to impose fines for violations that are not expressed in the bylaws or rules.
