Since the passage of LD 1315 in 2009, statutory road associations continue in existance "until the association is dissolved by a majority vote of its members".

Previously, statutory associations could exist for only 12 months, and needed to be re-formed each year.

It's not clear to me that the hiring of the plowing contractor was an act of your association at all.  If you haven't set a budget and assessments, or elected a road commissioner (president?), then it's probably not an act of the association.

If the association hasn't acted to secure plowing services, I'm not surprised that one of your neighbors has independently taken the initiative to do so.  If this is the case, you're certainly not obligated to pay.  But then again, I wouldn't expect the plowing contractor to show up for the next storm after he's been stiffed on the first.

The association can place a lien on your property for unpaid assessments, yes.  The question you have to answer is whether the association has properly enacted the assessment.

The plowing contractor may also be able to place a mechanic's lien on your property if he doesn't get paid.
