QUESTION
Can I pay HOA violations fine "under protest" to avoid HOA putting lien on my property & then pursue reimbursement in Small Claims Court?

More details to this question:
Appeals Committee recommended compromise, but Board of Directors rejected. Have, again, asked BOD for compromise or an "outside" mediator, but BOD is upholding entire fine of $2,400. Fine for not using "clear" hurricane shutters. Post office didn't forward 2 violations letters to my out-of-state residence, but returned both to property manager.

If properly done - yes. Its always a squirrely issue but the key is documenting legimate durress and best done with a lawyer explaining the position.
