A member is no longer responsible for any fees and costs incurred by his or her association as the result of a lien recorded in error, including costs associated with the pre-lien or intent to lien letter, or late charges, fees, interest and other related costs. Furthermore, if a member employs dispute resolution and the lien is determined to have been recorded in error, the association must pay for the entire cost of dispute resolution.
