The current annual Homeowner Association Dues are $600.00 to be paid in 1 payment sent to the address below.
Our fiscal year is April 1 to March 31. Dues are assessed on April 1 of each year. Current year dues not paid by June 30th are considered overdue (delinquent) and a fee of 10% of the current year’s dues will be assessed on the account. If current year dues are not paid by September 30th, an additional fee of $200 will be assessed on the account and a lien will be filed on the property.
All receivables that are overdue will be charged interest at the rate of 0.5% per month on the total net monthly balance, plus such additional interest rate surcharge as the Board of Directors shall approve, until each installment is paid in full. Provided, however, that the interest rate and interest rate surcharge combined applying to delinquent amounts, compounded monthly do not exceed 7% annual rate. The initial implementation of the interest charges on delinquent annual dues will have a 10-day waiting period. If not paid by the end of the waiting period, interest will be applied retroactively to July 1. These charges will accrue monthly with notices to delinquent homeowners about every three months.
The application of payments to member account balances (for association dues, fines, interest and fees) is based on Statement Balance Billing. That is, payments are applied to the oldest charges first.
