What is the procedure for appointing a receiver to oversee an HOA?

In Virginia, the procedure for appointing a receiver to oversee an HOA is laid out in § 55-510 of the Virginia Condominium Act. A receiver must be appointed if the HOA is unable to perform its duties due to financial or other reasons. The process to appoint a receiver begins with the HOA board of directors. The board is responsible for initiating a petition for the appointment of a receiver. This petition must include a statement of facts and a proposed order asking the court to appoint a receiver. Once the petition is filed, a hearing will take place. The board of directors will have the opportunity to present evidence as to why a receiver should be appointed. After the evidence is considered, the court will decide whether to appoint a receiver and will issue an order to do so. The receiver appointed by the court will have the authority and power to do whatever is necessary to get the HOA back in operation and in good financial condition. This includes collecting assessments and other debts or fees, managing the HOA’s operations, and doing whatever else is necessary to get the HOA back on track. The receiver will also be responsible for filing reports with the court outlining the receiver’s activities and the progress of the HOA. Once the HOA is running smoothly and is in a healthy financial state, the receiver will be removed and the HOA will once again have control of its operations. In the meantime, the receiver appointed by the court will have the authority to manage the HOA’s operations until such time as the HOA can be put back in charge.
