Today I planned to post the current version of LD 461 as Amended when I read your post --what a happy coincidence!
In answer to your questions:
1. Yes. See my recent post.
2. I believe you are correct that owner assessments, including money set aside in your reserve account, cannot exceed 1% of assessed value of property owned in any calendar year.
Thank you for your questions. If you have more questions, please use my post on this topic to ask them.
