Special Assessment
A one-time charge levied by an HOA on homeowners to cover unexpected expenses or an underfunded reserve. Unlike regular dues, special assessments can be thousands of dollars with little notice. Check your CC&Rs for the board's authority to levy special assessments — some require a homeowner vote above a certain threshold.
