Homeowner Assessments
Homeowners are assessed fees on a quarterly basis, according to the square footage of the units, and are due on the 15th of the first month in the quarter (January, April, July, October).
Penalties for unpaid fees
Unpaid fees accrue interest according to Resolution 2014: Collection of Unpaid HOA Assessments
Failure to pay Association fees puts a financial burden on the other homeowners and can result in a lien on the delinquent home, according to Bylaws Article IX - Collection of Share of Common Expense and Declaration Article VII.
History of assessments
Unit size was stated in the 1972 Exhibit B map. Adjustments to the calculation of the fees were made in the Attachment to the 1979 Amended Declaration. Clarification of the calculations was documented in a 1992 letter to the Board, showing the method of calculation in use since the 1979 amendment. This was followed by another letter with further calculations
