What is the maximum legal limit that a home owners assoc. fee can be raised each year?

Question

For a single family house in CA.

Answer 1

I believe it varies per the HOA covenants you sign when you initially purchase the home.
I know of someone whose monthly HOA fees got increased every year and is almost as high as her mortgage. Her subdivision is currently talking about suing the HOA.
That is an extreme case however...most HOA increases for single family homes are minimal and stay fairly stable for long durations. HOA fees for condos and townhomes tend to be subject to more freguent and higher increases.

Answer 2

That should be detailed in the agreement you signed.
