§ 6626. Voluntary fees or contributions

The fees or contributions collected to defray improvement projects that are not approved according to the provisions of § 6625 of this title, must be approved by a majority of the members of the association as required in this chapter, and shall be voluntary. The improvement projects to be financed with these voluntary fees or contributions may be of general benefit to the entire district or of specific benefit to the members who have assumed said responsibility.

The members of the association who agree to assume the payment of voluntary fees or contributions approved by the association, must sign a sworn document to such effect. Said voluntary fees or contributions shall constitute a lawful lien on the real property of said members in the same manner and of the same rank as the lien provided and described in § 6653 of this title. It shall be understood that any person who acquires or otherwise receives the property subject to said lien personally assumes the obligation to pay which secures the same. The association shall draw up acontract form for such purposes containing all the information it deems necessary to be included in the document.

The members of the association who have voluntarily assumed the payment of the fees or contributions approved by it, shall contribute, in the agreed proportion, to the cost of the improvement projects developed in the district which are financed through said voluntary fees and contributions, as well as to the administrative expenses of the association related to said improvement projects. Said members shall not refuse to contribute to said expenses should they waive the use and enjoyment of the benefits generated by the decisions of the association, or have abandoned the district.
