think the language you cited below has any bearing on the issue. The covenants
will usually have a section providing for when a non-condo HOA’s lien is created
(e.g., when the assessment is due, after recording a lien with the auditor,
etc.,) and the lien’s relative priority against other encumbrances, including
deeds of trust. It’s very common that the lien is subordinate to deeds of trust
or possibly just <U>first</U> deeds of trust. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
