Small Claims
Homeowners' association Board members frequently ask whether Small Claims Court is an appropriate venue for resolving association disputes, instead of the Civil Superior Courts. There are certain times when small claims court may be appropriate. Typically, this includes claims against owners for unpaid assessments, fees and/or fines that do not exceed $5,000, which is the limit that an association can recover in small claims court.
