$150 fine, 30 days

written into

I received a notice dated April 28 citing my fence under Section 4.3, with a $150 fine. The architectural committee approved that fence last year, and I have their letter.

I am asking the board to dismiss the violation and waive the fine. The approval and the photographs are attached.

What Maine Law Requires Before an HOA Fines You

For condominiums, Maine Revised Statutes title 33, § 1603-102(a)(11), subject to the declaration, allows reasonable fines only after notice and an opportunity to be heard.

In Maine, your declaration, bylaws and rules set most of the fine procedure, so quote them in your letter. Statute text as of November 3, 2026. This is general information, not legal advice; for a complex dispute, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Maine community covered by the condominium rule?

Your deed and recorded declaration say whether you own a condominium unit. If you're in a subdivision or road association instead, this rule doesn't cover it, so look in its covenants and bylaws for any fine and hearing steps.

What should a Maine condo owner say when asking to be heard?

Name the notice by its date, say you dispute it or want to explain, and ask for a time to meet. Offer to send a written statement if a meeting is hard to arrange, especially for seasonal owners who are away part of the year.

Can the association fine me while I'm away for the season?

It still has to give notice and a chance to be heard first. If the notice reached you late because you were away, say so, give the date you actually saw it, and ask for time to respond.

What if I fixed the problem the day I got the notice?

Lead with that. Attach a dated photo of the fix and ask the board to close the matter without a fine. A quick fix gives the board a good reason to let it go.
