Homeowners in the Magnolia Cove subdivision in Catawba County, North Carolina, will see their monthly HOA fees increase to $2,500 starting January 1, 2027, up from $158 four years ago, after a vote by the developer-controlled HOA led by Aaron Guess and Story Homes. The fee hike follows years of rising dues and legal disputes, including a 2024 lawsuit by over 20 homeowners that was dismissed, after which the HOA won a defamation judgment against them; the board says legal costs and unpaid assessments necessitated the increase.
In a separate case, a Florida appeals court has overturned a lower court's decision to cancel the foreclosure auction of Joseph Mills' property in Hillsborough County, ruling that buyer Real Estate Services Group, Inc. (RESG) must be given a chance to be heard before the sale is invalidated.
