HOA Homefront — How do we handle delinquent members and delinquent directors?

Without collecting all due assessments, the association cannot pay its bills, which harms all HOA members. The obligation to keep members current on assessments collection is a serious matter and should be taken seriously by both the HOA board and HOA homeowners. As I’m looking over homeowners’ delinquency information, I’m concerned that several incumbent board members are delinquent. “Delinquent” is defined by Civil Code Section 5650(b) as not paid 15 days after an assessment becomes due. Civil Code Section 5103(d)(3) states that board eligibility requirements must also be applied to the seated directors, which means that if the election rules bar delinquent candidates then directors must also not be delinquent.
