The lower Lot assessment set out in the immediately preceding sentence shall be effective only a residence has been completed on such Lot. Once the house is completely constructed and sold, the new owner of the lot and home pays the full next assessment.

In addition, any Owner whose assessment is more than ten (10) days past due shall owe a late penalty of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per month to the Association in addition to the interest thereon due hereunder. To secure the prompt payment of the aforementioned assessments, a lien is hereby created and granted for the benefit of the Association upon each Lot, and all improvements, additions, fixtures, and appurtenances now situated or hereinafter placed thereon. The Association or its agents may bring an action at law for a judgment against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same without foreclosing or waiving the lien securing the assessments owing by the defaulting Owner or foreclose the lien against the Lot for which an assessment is due and may enforce such lien by all methods available for enforcement of liens, including non-judicial foreclosure by the power of sale hereinafter granted for the benefit of the Association. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Common Area or abandonment of his/her Lot. If the Owner defaults on any assessment due hereunder, the Association may collect, in addition to the assessment, all costs and expenses incurred in collecting said assessment, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and the cost of recording the notice of assessment required hereunder.
