Since June 30, 2025, a California HOA must offer an opportunity to cure before it fines anyone, cap most fines at $100, and mail its written decision within 14 days. Notice Cure walks each violation through that process and keeps the record.

Log what you observed. The app sets each date, generates each letter, and flags any fine above what the statute allows.
The hearing can’t be set sooner than 10 days after the notice goes out. The notice states the violation, the date, and the owner’s right to attend.
Civ. Code § 5855(a)If the owner fixes it before the hearing, or commits to the fix with a contract or deposit, the fine option closes and the case shows why.
§ 5855 (AB 130)Fines are capped at the lesser of your schedule or $100. Health-or-safety cases can go higher only after a written finding at an open meeting.
§ 5850The written decision is due 14 days after the hearing. It counts down on the docket and the letter is ready to send.
§ 5855Management companies have compliance staff. A volunteer board has a spreadsheet and good intentions. This closes the gap without a management contract.
Notice, cure confirmation, decision, written resolution agreement and health-or-safety finding. Fill in the case, the letter writes itself.
