2024 HOA Fees and Policies
For all of the information related to the HOA Policies, please view this page:
Unfortunately, this year the fees had to be increased to keep up with increased costs and expenses. But new for this year, we are offering two different discounts that can total up to $15 off. Please see the details about the discounts because they have their limitations, and the $10 discount expires soon. Hopefully you can take advantage of both discounts.
The HOA Board has tried to be transparent with everything related to the HOA Fees, available discounts, and their related policies. As such these policies may be verbose, but are similar in detail and complexity as compared to older policies. By providing as much information as we can, we hope to demystify how these topics will be handled.

Updates to the HOA 2023 Budget and P&L
There were a few changes made to the HOA's 2023 Budget and the 2022 Profit & Loss. These changes were based upon a few minor corrections that were found and corrected while generating the invoices for 2023.
The total income for 2022 was increased by $50.00. There were no changes to the expenses for 2022.
There were a few budget items that were also changed. Meeting expenses were increased to $50 since the previous $5 amount was a typo. Miscellaneous Landscaping Expenses were reduced by $350, of which this expense is to related to maintenance concerns related to the trees near the front entrance, including around the pond.
The budget for 2023 has been set to $140, but if all listed items for income and expenses are to be "balanced" then the effective annual fee would have been $158.39. It was the decision of the HOA Board to maintain the same HOA Fees for 2023 due to general inflation and prices raising on everything else.
HOA Fees for 2023
The HOA fees for 2023 have been set to $140 once again this year, with a due date of 2023-03-31. Late fees of $25 will apply, along with reasonable interest rates.
