Special Assessments are not uncommon when major storms hit; therefore, make sure when you are purchasing a property that is a CONDO or a PUD (Homeowners’ Association) that you speak directly with the association manager the day of closing if not at the time of closing (start calling the day before) and get in writing any outstanding dues and in particular, ask when the next meeting is to occurr and if any special assessments have already been voted upon.

Major Expenses can Result in Special Assessements by Associations.
