Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How much are the Home Owners Association dues?
A. The current 2023 annual dues are $1,600.00
Q. How are dues determined?
A. An expense review by the Finance Committee takes place in October, resulting in a draft budget which is recommended to the Board for their approval. Maintenance fees are set for the following year based on expected expenses and funding of adequate reserves. Each owner pays an equal amount to the Association in the form of annual dues.
Q. When are dues owed?
A. The dues are payable once a year prior to January 31. A late charge assessment of $25 is added to the dues amount if not paid by Feb. 10.
Q. What happens if someone does not pay the homeowners dues?
A. Dues are the lifeblood of your Association and as such, are secured by a lien on each lot and/or home. If not paid, they are subject to interest, late fees, and collection fees and ultimately may be foreclosed upon by the Association. If the Association must spend its time and money to collect your assessment, it will harm the Association and eventually all other owners.
Q. What do the dues cover?
A. The Association uses the money to pay utilities and upkeep of the common areas, carry insurance on the neighborhood, taxes, rubbish removal, road maintenance, street snowplowing, and various other things such as social events.

Q. When I received my Annual Dues Billing, I noticed that the fees have gone up. Can my Association increase the rates without notifying the members in advance?
