The most common questions asked by those who pay HOA dues are:
"Why do we have to pay dues?" and "What is the money used for?"
Although it may not seem necessary, there are many advantages of a community having an HOA. The Board of Directors Role is responsible for the financial administration of the HOA along with the administration (enforcement of CC&Rs) and maintenance of the common areas and elements of the community. A management company will collect dues, maintain the financial reports and accounts, contract services, send notifications and mailings, work as a liaison between homeowner and developer, and respond to homeowner's needs directly or via the Board of Directors.
The 2024 HOA Dues are $100.0o and due on the first of each month
