California HOA Fine Schedule and Policy Template | AB 130 Compliant | Civ.Code 5850 | Editable HOA Board Form | Instant Download

California capped most HOA fines at $100 per violation — effective immediately on June 30, 2025 (AB 130, Civil Code § 5850(c)). If your association's fine schedule still lists $200 lawn fines or $500 architectural fines for ordinary violations, it no longer matches the law.

This editable template gives your board a compliant replacement in one afternoon.

WHAT YOU GET (instant digital download)
