No, homesteaded properties are subject to liens filed by a Homeowners Association. If not, the Associations would never be able to collect the fees they need to operate.

Not only is it legal for a Homeowners Association to notify the mortgage company, it may be required if a foreclosure is filed. Additionally, any other creditors should be served with copies of the action as well.

You need to pay your Homeowners Association fees in order to protect your investment in your residence or you may lose your home in foreclosure.
