You can read your governing documents and confirm that your monthly assessments may represent an automatic lien against your title, upon which the board can act when you don't pay your assessments. You may also have a personal responsibility to pay your assessments.
In addition, when you fall behind in your payments, the association is required to pursue you for the debt, to and including the sale of your unit to satisfy what you owe, plus expenses of collection.
Read your governing documents to fully understand the process involved in collecting assessments.
In sum: The association can place a lien on the property equal to the amount owed. If the lien goes unpaid, the association can foreclose on the property and take legal ownership of it.
The amount of the lien may include attorney's fees and expenses.

(Generally, assessments are levied against owners in order to pay the operating expenses of the community. Often, not only do owners agree to pay them when they purchase a unit, but your governing documents may indicate that the liability to pay is also a personal liability.)
It's a good idea for the association's treasurer to set the late fee amount and the due date and remind owners annually. Often these details are included in assessment payment book coupons.
Interest is also chargeable, but only according to the amounts documented in the CC&Rs.
Finally, depending on the expenses that the assessments pay monthly, the association may deny services to a non-paying owner, to and including utilities, club room or pool access, and so forth. As a last resort, the association may be able to sell the unit to retire the debt.
