More details to this question:
I am a property owner that is currently renting my property to a tenant that has a service dog. I am told that the dog in question violates the HOA by laws due to its size. My tenant has provided the HOA's management office with a prescription by her PA (physician assistant) stating the need for a service animal. My HOA is currently fining me $50 a day that the dog is on property. From my understanding since this is a service animal it is not subject to the pet rules in regards to size and weight. Is that correct or am I mistaken? Can the HOA still purse collection of the fines to include filing a lien or begin foreclose on my property because of this issue?

So long as the request for accommodation is handled correctly the HOA will not have a case against you. I recommend contacting the HOA regarding how special accommodations are handled and ensure that the request is properly submitted. If the HOA denies the request then we'll need to look at this in more detail.
Good Luck
