Dues and finances

How dues are set, how to pay them, and what they keep running in the community.

How dues are set

The Board adopts an annual budget each year and the assessment follows from it. The 2027 Declaration removes the fixed dollar caps that were in the original covenants, which means dues track what the community actually costs to run rather than a figure set in 1990. Any new amenity goes to a member vote.

Declaration 4.3, 4.6. Bylaws Article VI.

Dues are a lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner from the moment they are assessed. An owner who is behind is not in good standing, which means no vote, no office and no speaking at a meeting, and still owes every assessment.

Declaration 4.1. Bylaws 3.5.

Pay your dues

Payments are processed by the Association's management company.

Open the payment portal

For a question about your own balance, open a request in the owner portal so the answer is in writing and attached to your lot.

Check your lot record

Selling or refinancing?

Status letters, resale documents and lender disclosures come from CondoCerts, which the management company uses.

Where dues go

Approved annual budget

Dues pay for the shared things that keep the neighborhood the way it looks: the entrances, the grounds, the roads, and the services every home uses. The share below is drawn from the most recent approved budget, grouped into broad categories.

Percentages are rounded. Your own balance and schedule are on your statement from the management company. Owners can request the full approved budget and the annual financial report from the Board at any time.

When an account falls behind

The Association works with genuine hardship, and says so first, because most accounts that fall behind are not refusals. What follows is the published sequence so nobody is surprised by it.

  1. Direct contact

    The Board or the management company contacts the owner to find out what the situation is and agree a date.

  2. Lien and collections

    If an agreed date passes without payment, the Association records a lien against the lot and refers the balance to a collections agency. Costs of collection and actual attorney fees are added to the balance and secured by the lien.

    Declaration 4.11, 4.12

  3. Board decision after twelve to twenty-four months

    Where a balance remains unresolved, the Board votes on whether to foreclose or continue collection, deciding on the circumstances of the particular account.
