POCONO SPRINGS CIVIC ASS'N. v. MacKenzie
Superior Court of Pennsylvania (1995) | 667 A.2d 233; 446 Pa. Super. 445; 1995 Pa. Super. LEXIS 3365
TL;DR: Owners of a worthless lot attempted to abandon it to escape association fees. The court held that real property held with perfect title cannot be legally abandoned, so the owners remained liable for the fees.
Legal Significance: Under Pennsylvania law, an owner cannot abandon real property held in fee simple with perfect title, regardless of their intent or the property's lack of value. Ownership obligations persist until title is transferred.
