Special Assessments: You Might Be Going About It Wrong

Special assessments don’t fail because Boards are careless.
They fail because they’re framed as something being done to homeowners instead of decided by the community.

Too often, Boards are positioned as the enforcers—absorbing frustration, anger, and blame—when the reality is that many of these issues are unavoidable and must be addressed.

There’s a better approach.

Instead of “the Board has decided,” the conversation should be:
• Here is the issue
• Here is why it cannot be delayed
• Here is the cost to fix it
• And now the community gets to vote

Board members don’t get special treatment—they vote as homeowners alongside everyone else. If the initiative fails, the Board has clear direction not to proceed. If it passes, the community has clearly chosen to move forward.

That shift changes everything:
- Shared responsibility
- Clear direction
- Less hostility toward volunteer Boards

Special assessments aren’t about power. They’re about responsibility—and when that responsibility is shared, the outcome is healthier for everyone.

Small HOAs are often told they should be easy to manage.
Fewer homes. Lower fees. Less work.

In reality, small communities are some of the most difficult associations for professional management companies to support sustainably.

In this video, I explain why small HOAs generate significantly more management RFPs than mid-size and large communities—and why the assumption that “small means easy” breaks down in practice.

We cover:
• Why small HOAs still require full financials, compliance, and vendor oversight
• How limited assessment revenue creates constant pressure on management
• The hidden costs of chasing low-cost contractors
• Why vendor turnover creates instability and reputation damage
• How accounts payable timing becomes a flashpoint in small communities
• The trade-offs between low-cost management, strict contracts, and lean operators
• Why unrealistic expectations drive manager burnout and industry turnover

Most importantly, this video explains what actually leads to sustainable management relationships in small associations—and how Boards can protect both their community and their management partners long-term.

If you are a Board member, homeowner, or industry professional trying to understand why small HOAs struggle to retain management, this conversation matters.

In this video, Bryan Farley, RS, President of Association Reserves – Colorado, clarifies a common misconception about HOA reserve contributions. He emphasizes that these payments are not meant to cover the full replacement cost of community assets but rather to fund their current usage. Each homeowner contributes based on the duration of their residence, ensuring they pay their fair share for the wear and tear during their occupancy. This approach prevents new homeowners from bearing the financial burden of past usage by previous residents who may have left without adequately funding the reserves. Farley's insights highlight the importance of equitable reserve funding to maintain the community's financial health and infrastructure integrity.
