Frequently asked questions
Can I dispute a special assessment?
Check your governing documents and state law — assessments usually require a board vote or member approval above certain thresholds.
Is a special assessment tax-deductible?
For rental property it may be, but for a primary residence it typically is not — consult a tax advisor.
