title: Unit owner would rather pay property taxes than HOA fees
description: The association is not receiving the HOA fees on these units. How is it that whoever is paying the taxes does not have to pay the HOA fees, and can pretty much stay hidden from anyone inquiring about them? The board needs those fees even if the owner of record is not living there or renting it out.

## What do you think? Question:

### We have two delinquent units in our association of 22 units. I contacted the municipality to find that the taxes have been paid by a "servicing company".  I contacted the company only to be told that they cannot provide/confirm/deny who is making the tax payments. The association is not receiving the HOA fees on these units.  How is it that whoever is paying the taxes does not have to pay the HOA fees, and can pretty much stay hidden from anyone inquiring about them? The board needs those fees even if the owner of record is not living there or renting it out.
