He retired from the NBA on Oct. 30, 2013, and since then he and his wife, Tawanna, have divided their time between homes in Delrey Beach, Fla. and Atlanta.
In a complaint filed in the Fulton County superior court Nov. 12, the Country Club of the South Homeowners Association claims the Iversons have "failed and refused to pay timely the lawful assessments ... and are indebted to the Association in the principal amount of $18,550.31."
The club, the centerpiece of which is Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, claims the couple is also responsible for paying late charges, costs of collection, interest accruing at a rate of 18 percent, and attorney's fees.
It is represented by Weissman, Nowark, Curry & Wilco, P.C. in Atlanta represent the plaintiff.
