ARTICLE XI

ASSESSMENTS

As more fully provided in the Declaration, each member is obligated to pay to the Association annual and special assessments, as defined in the Declaration, which are secured by a continuing lien against the property against which the assessments are made.  Any assessments, which are not paid when due, shall be delinquent. If an assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date, the assessment shall bear interest from the date of delinquency at the maximum lawful rate from time to time permitted under the laws of the State of Florida. And the Association may bring an action at law against the owner personally obligated to pay the same or foreclose the lien against the property, and interest, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in bringing any such action shall be added to the amount of such assessment.  No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Common Property or abandonment of his/her lot.
