Are the legal expenses incurred by the condo or HOA in collections recoverable from the unit owner?
Yes. Pursuant to Florida condo & HOA law, legal fees and costs incident to the collection process are recoverable from the unit owner and secured the association’s lien. Should a bank foreclose, it will likely pay these expenses if demanded by your legal counsel and particularly if incurred in the 12 months prior to completion of the bank foreclosure.
