We have an Association that is a gated property with storage buildings on it. Each owner owns building and 5ft. Around buildings. The association covers electric and maintenance to gate and property. We have an individual that won't pay Association fees. How do we collect?

If you are located in MInnesota and depending upon what is in the Declaration creating what you have described as a form of common interest community, you may have a lien that can be foreclosed for unpaid Association dues. Alternatively, the Association could bring a collection action in conciliation court for past due moneys, but that will not solve the problem if it continues.
