My question involves real estate located in the State of: Virginia

I bought my home in 2007 that was built in 2004 on lots S-29 & S-30 & in 2004 the previous owner went to the county & had the 2 lots combined & now shows as lot S-30 on the plat,because the one lot can't be sold since only one lot would perk & a small portion of the house is on the other lot along with the septic system.

The Association is now charging me for a special assessment fee on both lots, for building a new Community Center that the home owners voted against but they went ahead & are building it currently even though some home owners hired an Attorney to try and stop them.

I'm not going to get into all of that problem.

I paid the special assessment on the one lot but they are now wanting me to pay for the other lot plus a late fee & interest & threatening a lien.

In response to a letter I sent them here is their reply.
After reviewing your letter with our attorney there is no question what the intention was here but I'm afraid I have to advise you that combining the lots in the manner in which you did does nothing to relieve you of being responsible for annual and special assessments for both lots S-29 & S-30.

Article X, section 1 (B) of xxx association's protective covenants & agreements is a clear restriction that prevents an owner from combining their lots so that either one loses its independent status as a lot for the purpose of your Declaration & the imposition of assessments.

Here is what Article X section 1 (B) says.
B. No original lots or group of lots shall be subdivided without the written approval of the Board; and in no case shall any original lots lose their alphanumeric identifier.

I don't see anything in section B. that says anything about combining lots, it only mentions subdividing.
Do I have a leg to stand on in court or is the statement, (and in no case shall any original lots lose their alphanumeric identifier.) screw me even though there is no mention of combining lots.
