The TCRMA Board has voted to publish a list of association members who have outstanding road maintenance fees. This list is a secure document and may only be viewed by registered association members. Late and non-payment of road fees creates a burden on the association, creating unnecessary expenses in the attempt to collect past due fees and directly effecting the Board’s ability to address road maintenance projects and safety issues. Members who have not paid their association dues by December 2023 will have a lien filed against their property, assessed a $150 lien filing fee and will be subject to interest charged at 8.5% from the due date of Oct. 1, 2023.
Section 27-1-211 of the Montana Code Annotated states:
27-1-211. Right to interest. Each person who is entitled to recover damages certain or capable of being made certain by calculation and the right to recover that is vested in that person upon a particular day is entitled also to recover interest on the damages from that day except during the time that the debtor is prevented by law or by the act of the creditor from paying the debt.
