Virginia HOA violation letters: what the law requires
Virginia requires notice and an opportunity to be heard before an association assesses charges for rule violations, and it caps those charges — generally $50 for a single offense or $10 per day (up to 90 days) for continuing violations.
Before you send: Virginia notice requirements
Virginia Property Owners' Association Act (Code of Virginia §55.1-1800 et seq.)
- Give the owner written notice of the alleged violation and an opportunity to be heard before assessing charges.
- Offer a reasonable opportunity to correct the violation where it is curable.
- Cap charges at $50 for a single offense, or $10 per day up to 90 days for ongoing violations.
- Cite the specific provision of the declaration or rules that was violated.
- Deliver the hearing result to the owner in writing.
Fines: Virginia's charge caps are low compared to other states, so consistent documentation and early friendly notices do most of the compliance work.
