Condo Association

[pkvdo]

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Florida

We received a letter from our condo association that we Must pay $500 for damage to the property caused by hurricane damage in 2005.

The letter reads:

This is to advise you that the board of directors at their meeting on/ approved a $500 per unit assessment as follows:
( $100,000 total income to the property )

$420 per unit for hurricane clean-up and repairs
$80.00 per unit for a new facility truck
$500 per unit total assessment

please consider this notice as your statement for payment.
you will not receive another notice
payment is due (30 days)

by order of the board of directors....

it goes on to say that after the 30 days that it will be sent to collections,
and in closing every owner should be aware that if some horrendous accident or event were to occur and the association were sued, the costs of defending the association and the resulting fines would be the responsibility of the ownership.


* wouldnt the insurance that we pay into the association cover hurricane damages? can we get a detailed copy of the bills incured for these damages from the board?
this is not the first time that these sort of notices or statement for payment
have been introduced to the owners**************...
there is a past history of wanting $$$

can you advise as to what would be best steps into dealing with this situation? if you need more info we can provide....

thank you so much for your time.
