N.J.S.A. 46:8B-21.3 (New Jersey Condominium Act — super-priority lien: 6 months of common expense assessments plus reasonable attorney fees and collection costs

New Jersey Condo Super-Priority Lien Calculator

Compute the New Jersey condominium super-priority lien amount under N.J.S.A. 46:8B-21.3. NJ is one of the broadest super-priority regimes in the country: the priority slice covers six months of common expense assessments PLUS reasonable attorney fees and collection costs — unlike Illinois (assessments only) and Massachusetts (assessments only). Returns the total super-priority amount the mortgagee must pay to extinguish the association's senior lien, the regular subordinate lien balance, and a comparison flag noting NJ's attorney-fee inclusion.

N.J.S.A. 46:8B-18 (New Jersey Condominium Act fines: no statutory per-day or aggregate cap

New Jersey HOA Fines Calculator — N.J.S.A. 46:8B-18 & N.J.S.A. 45:22A-44

Compute the lawful maximum fine under the New Jersey Condominium Act (N.J.S.A. 46:8B-18) and PREDFDA (N.J.S.A. 45:22A-44). Unlike North Carolina ($100/day, $2,000 aggregate statutory caps) and Florida ($100/day, $1,000 aggregate cap), NJ sets NO statutory per-day or aggregate cap — fine authority and limits come exclusively from the association's bylaws and fine schedule. A fine schedule in the bylaws is a prerequisite for any enforceable fine in NJ. The calculator checks procedural validity (written notice, hearing opportunity), applies bylaw caps, and determines whether the fine is lien-eligible under N.J.S.A. 46:8B-17.

N.J.S.A. 46:8B-14(e) (NJ Condominium Act — board must maintain a capital reserve fund

New Jersey Condo Reserve Fund Calculator — N.J.S.A. 46:8B-14(e)

Compute New Jersey condominium reserve fund adequacy, funding deficit, and recommended annual contribution under N.J.S.A. 46:8B-14(e) (board must maintain capital reserve fund) and N.J.S.A. 46:8B-12.1 (reserve study disclosure). NJ has no statutory minimum funding percentage — the CAI 70% adequacy threshold is applied as the industry standard. Returns the fully funded balance, funding ratio, deficit, recommended straight-line annual contribution per unit, and projected 5- and 10-year balances.
