Fines at Nautilus Cove

The condo has a 3 member Fining Committee While hearing procedures vary widely between condominiums all Owners facing an association fine have common law 'due process rights' which include those below. Outside courts are reluctant to micro manage condo board/committee procedures unless these rights are violated.

• The nature of the alleged violations are clearly stated;
• If more than one violation is alleged, information regarding each violation is given;
• Citing the provisions of the governing documents or rules and regulations which are alleged to have been violated;
• Giving notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing where the matter will be considered; and
• A basic statement of due process rights is given, including the right of the accused party to present his or her own evidence, to review and challenge the association’s evidence, and the right to be represented by legal counsel.
