Nagin’s Folly
Ray Nagin Must Pay Homeowners Fees On Texas Hurricane Home… Or Else
You remember Clarence Ray Nagin, Jr., yes? The Mayor of New Orleans? Well, Ray and his wife have a townhome in Frisco built by D.R. Horton, off the Dallas North Tollway and Stone Brook Parkway, which he has referred to as a modest “second hurricane home” since his wife has family here. But seems he hasn’t paid his home association fees of $1507.14. And in Texas, we know what that means: though we are a strong homestead state, not paying HOA dues can result in foreclosure. And in fact, the Casa Bella Owners Association has filed suit against Nagin for the past due moola. If he fails to pony up, the property will be auctioned off April 7 in Collin County. Over the weekend, CBS11 reported that the Nagins plan to “sell off” the property to pay off the debt; Collin County has the property, which he and his wife bought May 31, 2007, valued at $181,968.
