## What do you think? Question:

This question is submitted by Edward V. out of Iowa

 

Can a board without a majority vote assess a large flat fee for every sale in the association with no bearing on the condo's value? Our board passed a 3k flat association fee to every new member who joins the association by buying a condo. It's price discrimination as some units are worth 180k and some are worth 475k. Can they do this?
