When Your ‘No HOA’ Home Suddenly Has One
/
A High Point homeowner was blindsided when an inactive HOA resurfaced years after her 2019 home purchase, demanding thousands in back dues despite her deed indicating no association existed. Confused and facing a lien, she discovered the HOA had always legally existed—errors by her real estate agents and closing attorney had misled her. Forced to dip into retirement savings, she ultimately received relief when those parties agreed to pay the full amount and the lien was removed. Her case highlights the importance of verifying HOA status through public records rather than relying solely on disclosures or assumptions.
