§ 4760. Associations—Voluntary fees or contributions

The payment of fees or contributions to carry out specific projects must be approved by a majority of association’s members, as required in this chapter, and will be of voluntary nature. The works or projects to be financed with these voluntary fees or contributions may be of general benefit to the entire zone or district, or of particular benefit to the members who have assumed said responsibility.

Association members who agree to assume the special economic responsibility approved by the association shall sign a sworn statement to that effect. The association shall prepare a draft contract for this purpose with all the information it deems necessary to include in the document.

Owners and tenants who have voluntarily assumed payment of the fees or contributions approved by the association, will contribute proportionately to the cost of the works, programs and services carried out in the residential zone or commercial district, as the case may be, as well as the association’s administrative expenses. These persons shall not avoid payment of the contribution for such expenses by waiving the use and enjoyment of the benefits created by the association’s agreements, or by moving out of the encumbered property.

The proportional amount each property owner must contribute to common expenses shall be determined, set and imposed in the association’s general assembly. The contribution or fees shall become due and payable in accordance with the agreements adopted by the association, in keeping with the provisions of this chapter.
