Stat. § 580.

Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-116 (MCIOA assessment lien: six-month super-priority for periodic common expense assessments

Minnesota MCIOA Super-Priority Lien Calculator — Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-116

Compute the Minnesota MCIOA super-priority lien amount under Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-116: the lesser of six months of periodic common expense assessments or the actual delinquency. Flags two major Minnesota distinctions — (1) attorney fees are NOT in the MN super-priority (contrast NJ), and (2) non-judicial power-of-sale foreclosure is available under Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-116(b) and § 580 (a rare and significant advantage over most states that require judicial foreclosure).

Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-107 (MCIOA fine authority: must be authorized in declaration or bylaws

Minnesota HOA Fines Calculator — Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-107 (MCIOA)

Compute the lawful fine under Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-107 (MCIOA). Minnesota sets NO statutory per-day or aggregate fine cap — the governing documents (declaration or bylaws) control maximum amounts. Fine authority must be expressly authorized in the governing documents; written notice and a hearing opportunity are required before any fine is imposed. Lawfully imposed fines are collectible as assessments and lien-eligible under Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-116.

Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-103(a)(5) (MCIOA: board must maintain a reserve fund for repair

Minnesota HOA Reserve Fund Calculator — Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-103(a)(5)

Compute the Minnesota MCIOA reserve fund funding ratio, deficit, and recommended annual contribution under Minn. Stat. § 515B.3-103(a)(5). Minnesota requires the board to maintain a reserve fund and disclose reserve status at each annual meeting — but sets NO mandatory minimum funding percentage (contrast Florida's post-SB 4-D mandatory reserve funding for condominiums). Returns the funding ratio, deficit, straight-line recommended contribution, and projected 5/10-year balances.
